I ask the Minister for an update on the current round of sports capital grant applications for all sports clubs around the country that have applied for the scheme, particularly those close to my heart in County Kildare. When can they expect to hear word back? This year, under a new system, which is very much welcome, invalid applications will be considered. Will the Minister outline the process in respect of clubs whose applications are deemed invalid? Will they have an opportunity to rectify issues with their applications? What is the timeline involved in this regard? For clubs that did not have an opportunity to apply this time but now wish to do so, does the Minister envisage that another scheme will be opened up soon after this one?
