* Special Allocation of Current Funds to Support Qualifi cation, Preparation and Participation at the 2016 Rio Olympic and

In December 2014 the Minister for Sport, Mr Michael Ring T.D., provided an additional €1 million to the Irish Sports Council for expenditure on projects associated with the 2016 Rio Olympic and Paralympic Games. This was a major boost in support of the Council’s goal of achieving success at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

2015 is the critical year in terms of qualifying for Rio and there was an expected increase in demand for resources. The funds were allocated to the NGBs in 2014 for Rio-related activities that formed part of their existing 2015 Performance Plans.

The details of the distribution of the €1 million are provided in the table below. Please note the allocations are recorded in the High Performance table under the 2015 heading (published on the previous page) which refl ects the total amount of fi nancial support off ered for the implementation of 2015 Performance Plans.

In November 2014 the Minister for Sport, Michael Ring TD, approved a special sports capital allocation for the purchase of sports equipment by National Governing Bodies of Sport in 2014. The Department requested the Irish Sports Council to present recommendations on investment priorities for the National Governing Bodies of Sport.

The Department and Council worked in close collaboration to ensure that the additional investment was provided to the sports and expended according to the grant criteria.

15 sports bodies benefi ted from the scheme and were able to purchase essential equipment for the benefi t of their members. The scheme was not targeted at high performance but it is worth noting that Sailing and Rowing were able to purchase boats and other equipment which will be of enormous benefi t for their Rio campaigns.
