I propose to take Questions Nos. 231 and 232 together.

My Department provides grant assistance for facilities through the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme (SCEP) and the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). The LSSIF is designed to provide financial support to sports projects where the grant sought is greater than the maximum available under the SCEP. The first allocations under the LSSIF were announced in January 2020 and, to date, approximately €86.4 million has been provisionally awarded to 33 different proposals. Details of all projects and applications are available here:

My Department is undertaking a review of the LSSIF Programme and has now met with all successful grantees and work is at an advanced stage in drafting the review which will address any appeals received. I expect this work to be finalised shortly.

Once that review is complete the scope for awarding any additional grants, adjusting the level of existing grants, and the timing of any new call for proposals will be considered
