Labour TD Sean Kenny is urging local clubs and sports organisations to apply for the 2014 Sports Capital Programme, which opens for applications this Friday, 17th January.

"The 2014 round of sports capital funding will allocate €40million to local sports clubs to improve and develop facilities such as changing rooms, pitches and floodlights, as well as providing funding for regional facilities."

"The application process for grants has changed, and is now carried out through a new online registration system."

"It means it is now quicker and easier than ever before for sports clubs to apply for grants, and will ensure a more streamlined and user-friendly service."

"Applicants must register online by February 7th, and the deadline for applications is February 28th"

"I would advise local sports clubs who are interested to consult the Department of Sport's online guide to registration, available at: http://www.dttas.ie/sport/english/sports-capital-programme."
