Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 January 2026
382. Deputy Peter 'Chap' Cleere asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport the measures he is taking to support sport and sports clubs in County Carlow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5273/26]
View answerMy Department operates two sports capital programmes, the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF) and the Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF). Details of allocations made under the CSFF, by county, can be found on my Department's website at [www.gov.ie/en/department-of-culture-communications-and-sport/collections/sports-capital-programme-allocations/].
Allocations made under the LSSIF can be found at www.gov.ie/en/department-of-culture-communications-and-sport/campaigns/large-scale-sport-infrastructure-fund-lssif/.
In terms of more general support, Sport Ireland, which is funded by my Department, is the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, increasing participation at all levels and raising standards, including the allocation of funding across its various funding programmes.
I have referred the Deputy's question to Sport Ireland for direct reply. I would ask the Deputy to inform my office if a reply is not received within 10 days.
