Scheme managed by the Irish Sports Council Extract : The International Carding Scheme was introduced in 1998 to provide a range of supports to assist Ireland's most talented sportspersons realise their potential to perform successfully at the highest international level. This scheme replaced the Outstanding Sportspersons Grant Scheme operated by the Department of Education between 1986 and 1997. The Carding Scheme is overseen by the Irish Sports Council. In addition to providing financial support to those players/athletes who need assistance to meet necessary international competition and training expenses, not otherwise covered through their relevant National Governing Body of Sport (NGB), the Carding Scheme provides non-financial supports, as set out later, ranging from sports specialist advice on physiology, nutrition etc., to medical support. Ireland's most talented international players and athletes, including junior and developing talent, have access, free of charge, to a holistic support system, gearing to helping them realise their full potential. see web link www.irishsportscouncil.ie/developing-hp-international.aspx ( copy and paste link ) This also includes application forms. If you wish to see details of Grants allocated see their Annual reports also on this site
