The national lottery funded sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, allocates funding to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.

The club in question was allocated a grant of €90,000 under the 2004 sports capital programme. A payment of €85,500, representing 95% of the grant, was issued to the club earlier this month. The remaining 5% of the grant, in this case €4,500, will be paid on completion of the defects liability period for the project in line with standard procedure for the programme.

Applications for funding under the 2005 programme were invited through advertisements in the press on 5 and 6 December last. The closing date for receipt of applications was 4 February 2005. All applications received before the deadline, including one from the organisation in question, are currently being evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. I intend to announce the grant allocations for the programme as soon as possible after the assessment process has been completed.
