The club to which the Deputy refers submitted their business plan for 2007-2009 for appraisal under my Department's Community Services Programme. In appraising the business plan, the view was taken that it did not adequately reflect the new emphasis in the programme of providing services to disadvantaged people in particular sections of society.

No final decision has been made in relation to this application. It was felt however that the business plan presented initially by the club was deficient in terms of its focus on disadvantage and an opportunity was given to the group to resubmit a revised business plan by 31st October 2007.
