Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Wallace mentioned one himself that was invalid. If I took them out, and they were invalid, he would be the first one up there and on RTE crying and giving out that I had taken out invalid projects. None of those which were invalid will be grant aided. They were not grant aided in the last round and they will not be grant aided in the next round if they are invalid. Deputy Wallace should be assisting the clubs and helping them to fill out the forms rather than expecting me to take them out if they are invalid.
