303. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Culture, Communications and Sport when the new system portal for the upcoming Community Sports Facilities Fund round will be launched; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48418/26]

I have asked my Department to prepare for a further round of the CSFF in 2026 which I expect to open soon. All clubs and organisations registered with the Department's grant management system will be automatically notified when the next round of the CSFF is opened.

The grant management system is currently temporarily closed for registrations in order to facilitate migration to a new IT system. Organisations that are currently registered will automatically transfer to the new portal. The new system portal will be launched and open to new registrations in the coming weeks. Further details on this will be published and communicated broadly.
