What a silly response to say that the only confusion is with the Opposition.

There is confusion with sporting clubs and groups which have been waiting anxiously for the Minister to announce funding. Will the Minister release the grants or not? If he is going to do so, what is the delay in coming forward with an announcement, or is it the case that he has absolutely no intention of doing so and instead is trying to draw out the year and then announce the grants for 2017? Sporting groups and clubs across the State will be extremely disappointed if the Minister has not released the grants. That would be mean-spirited and short-sighted. It was included in the programme for Government as an annual scheme, so this will be the Minister's first broken promise.
