I propose to take Questions Nos. 318 and 322 together.

All applications for approval of sports capital projects for tax relief purposes under section 847A Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, have to be submitted to my Department for certification.

An application for approval was received from the club in question by my Department and on examination of the proposed project it was found that it was not of a sports capital nature and did not have a sufficient sports element to be approved for tax relief purposes. My Department has advised the club accordingly.
