I propose to take Questions Nos. 256 and 257 together.
The details requested in the Question in relation to capital funding programmes or grants for which sporting organisations and community organisations are eligible for, and for which my Department has responsibility, are set out in the table below. It should be noted that a number of the programmes detailed fall simultaneously under both capital funding programme and grant schemes.
In terms of agencies or State bodies under the aegis of my Department, the information sought in the Question is an operational matter for each of the State bodies concerned and, as such, it is not information held by my Department.
