Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I want to emphasise that when grantees come looking for that funding, the Department must find the money and that money is allocated in a budget every year. It is not that if the money is not spent, it will be spent on another project. That money will be just there. When it is needed to be drawn down, it is drawn down. It is not that money is left over and can be spent again. We are reviewing the sports capital programme and we hope to have some news later this year.
