Answer

The application process for both the pilot project to provide outdoor covered sports spaces for 20 primary schools and the programme for synthetic pitches and sports halls in the post-primary sector, will be launched by my department in the coming weeks.

The criteria for eligibility for funding for both projects will be included within the application process.
