Deputy Louis O'Hara asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport if his Department provides any funding schemes that a walking football club could apply to for help purchasing walking football goals, footballs, bibs, cones and other training and playing equipment.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 453 and 464 together.
The Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF) is the primary means of providing Government funding to sport and community organisations at local, regional and national levels throughout the country. The fund aims to foster an integrated and planned approach to the development of sports and physical recreation facilities and assists the purchase of non-personal sports equipment.
The next round of the Community Sport Facilities Fund (CSFF) is now open. A new online grant management system for CSFF, SPRAOI, went live on Monday 28 September.
Clubs and organisations not previously registered with the Department can now register on SPRAOI. The window for funding applications will run from Monday 19 October 2026 to Friday 26 February 2027.
