There is no need as I am well aware of the criteria.

Due to the fact that Carlow was treated poorly in the past there are a large number of applications from clubs in that county, and that is also true of other counties. How will the clubs and organisations which do not meet the criteria on this occasion be informed of that fact? Will information be provided before the grants are allocated so that clubs and organisations know where they stand? This is important as some of the clubs may be able to source funding from elsewhere in the event of not being awarded a grant. What is the timescale for notification of the awarding of grants? Will it be before or after the budget or even in this calendar year? I also wish to know the timescale for spending the money once it has been allocated.
