I congratulate the Minister of State on his appointment and wish him well. The sports capital grant programme is well supported and much anticipated in County Clare. Last year Clare got €4.6 million and 69 clubs benefited from it. I am receiving queries from clubs which are anticipating the announcement of a new date for applications. I encourage the Minister of State to move the process along as quickly as he can. Can he give more detail on a timeframe for when this will happen and give an indication of how much he hopes to make available? Will it be as much as last year?
