Sports Capital Programme

As we look forward to Waterford’s place in the upcoming Hurling All Ireland Final, sport is on the mind of everyone in the county! 2020 has been a year like no other for sport in Ireland but I’m happy to see that registration for the Sports Capital Programme opens this week. The fund was announced by my Green Party colleague and Minister for Sport, Catherine Martin TD.

The Sports Capital Programme (SCP) is operated by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and provides grants to assist in the development or refurbishment of sports facilities and the provision of sports equipment. It is part funded from the proceeds of the National Lottery. If you are involved in any sports club in Waterford, you are eligible to register and apply for funding.

Here is all the information you need….
