Applications for funding under the 2006 Sports Capital Programme were invited through advertisements in the press on 27 and 28 November last. All applications received before the deadline, including one from the organisation in question were evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. I announced details of the provisional grant allocations for local projects on 6 June last.

The application referred to by the Deputy was successful this year and the club were granted a provisional allocation, subject to the terms and conditions of the programme, of €100,000 towards their project. A letter advising the organisation of this allocation, together with details of how the grant may be drawn down, will issue in the near future.
