We all know of last year’s fantastic success of the sports capital grant programme. No doubt, the Minister could have had three times the moneys involved but it still would not have covered all the applications. I welcome the Department’s decision in the budget to release another round of grants this year. Does the Minister see any changes to the application process this time? When should applications be in and decisions made on them?
