At Sligo Borough Council's request, officials from my Department met with a deputation from the Council on October 16th last to discuss its future overall plans for the provision of sporting facilities, including those at Cleveragh, particularly in the context of the sports capital programme administered by my Department.

The sports capital programme is advertised on an annual basis. The 2007 round of the programme was advertised on Sunday 15th and Monday 16th October last with a closing date for receipt of applications of 24th November next. It is open to Sligo Borough Council to submit an application for funding under the programme in respect of its requirements for sports facilities at Cleveragh.
