View answerThe Large-Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund (LSSIF) was established under the National Sports Policy to provide Exchequer support for larger sport facility projects, typically those requiring investments greater than the maximum available under the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF). The cumulative investment under LSSIF since its inception is €297 million across 68 projects.
The project referred to in the question received an LSSIF grant allocation of €2.52 million of which €1,670,291 has been drawn down. The project will deliver a full size 4G all-weather GAA pitch, three grass pitches, floodlighting and associated infrastructure upgrades at a total cost of €4 million. It is anticipated that the project will be completed later this year.
