The Sports Capital Programme is the Government's primary vehicle for supporting new and upgraded sports facilities and equipment across the country. The 2023 round of the programme attracted a record number of applications and in May I was delighted to announce grants of €26 million for equipment-only projects.

Assessment of applications for capital projects are now at an advanced stage and I expect to announce allocations in the coming weeks.
