I hope the Leader will be able to clarify the position on grants for sporting organisations and National Lottery funded grants to sporting organisations. I note that before the last general election a grant of €50,000 was promised for the development of Cusack Park and Westmeath GAA. However, since the fall of the last Government and the subsequent formation of the current Government, that promise seems to have dried up.

As Members are aware, the sports capital grant had ceased. Following the budget we have heard from the Minister of State with responsibility for sports that the scheme will be opened again and that there will be more money for sport grants. I am seeking clarification on some of the other project that had been promised but then put on the long finger. Will they be looked at again? If the Leader has some information on that matter, I would appreciate it.
