358. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if her attention has been drawn to the fact that a club (details supplied) does not have a running track or basic facilities; if the matter will be examined in view of the fact that the area has a fast growing population and a growing need for this facility; the supports that are available to develop this facility; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The Sports Capital and Equipment Programme is the primary vehicle for Government support for the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and the purchase of non-personal sports equipment throughout the country.

It is open to any organisation with a suitable project to apply for funding. While the 2020 round of the programme closed for applications on the 1st March, it is my intention to advertise a future round of the programme as soon as possible after the assessment process and allocation process is complete. I note that the organisation referred to by the Deputy has registered with my Department for the programme and the designated club contact will be informed when the next round is open for applications.
