My Department operates two capital funding programmes for sport, the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF) and the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). The Department does not have a funding programme to assist clubs with development plans.

Cumulative investment from the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund since 2020 now stands at €297 million, while over a quarter of a billion euro was allocated to community sports clubs and facilities, from the CSFF in 2024. This funding represents the largest-ever investment in sports facilities in communities across Ireland.
