I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 389 of February 27th 2007.

The organisation in question have, in line with my Department's requirements in this regard under the guidelines, terms and conditions of the sports capital programme, submitted invoices in respect of works completed to my Department's technical advisers, the Office of Public Works (OPW), for examination and certification.

The OPW has now informed my department that it is has requested further information from the organisation's technical supervisor, which is required to certify the Invoices submitted. Upon receiving this certification and confirmation that tax clearance details of the organisation and the contractors working on the project are in order, my Department will be in a position to pay the eligible grant monies at the earliest possible date.
