In Limerick and north County Tipperary, more than 100 clubs and organisations got sports capital funding. It is a very good measure and there has been a significant increase on previous years. In the appeals process, there will be some clubs and sporting organisations that are deemed invalid because the type of application they put forward is not covered under the scheme, and there will be others that are invalid because they have not submitted the correct documentation. There is a major distinction. Will the Minister of State expedite the process? We need some indication as to when the appeals process will get under way. It is very important. Many of the clubs will probably be able to get the documentation together and resubmit it. Will the Minister of State clarify whether €6 million has been set aside that could be claimed under this appeals process?
