Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Thomas Byrne: That money has been allocated for drawdowns that were expected this year. Those are really grants from 2020.

It is a matter for the Minister with the overall subheads, so maybe she wants to answer it....

Vote 33 - Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (Supplementary) (6 Nov 2024)

Thomas Byrne: That was part of the application matrix and the scoring system. On the exact mechanics, I suppose there will be engagement between the Department and the associations or clubs. That will realistically be after Christmas. There is no point saying they will hear soon. There is other work to do, but the Kinsale application is valid and that is good news. They will be on the reserve list.
