Mr. Graham Doyle:

I am sure the Deputy will be aware that the current call for submissions in regard to that closes tomorrow. What happens is that an assessment of the projects, as they fall, is carried out and there is a rebalancing at the end in terms of spreading the funding to make sure that there is a fair crack of the whip across the country. The requirement for matching funding in that regard, which was the first part of the Deputy's question, is about 5%. It is a relatively small percentage, which I appreciate can be difficult to raise, and I know that clubs raise it in a variety of ways from particular sponsorship lump sums, from fundraising activities or whatever. It is a feature now of very many grant programmes that a certain level of matching funding is required but we keep it relatively low in the sports capital programme.
