Earlier this year, I announced an initiative for the provision of a number of skateboard facilities nationwide. Each city and county council was invited by my Department to submit expressions of interest for grant assistance towards the provision of a skateboard park in its area. The closing date for receipt of applications from local authorities was 15 July 2005. City and county councils responded positively to this new initiative and the proposals submitted are at an advanced stage of consideration. Kildare County Council submitted one application in respect of Newbridge sports and leisure centre. I hope to be in a position to make an announcement regarding the successful projects shortly.
