The 2020 Sports Capital Programme will close for applications on 1 March 2021 and it is intended that the assessment of applications will begin immediately after this date.  Under the last round of the Programme, a record 2,337 applications were received. 

It is not possible to predict how many applications will be submitted and the timeframe for completing the assessment process will be dependent on this. 

I can assure the Deputy that there will be no undue delay in completing the assessment process and it is intended to make allocations as early as possible.
