Under the sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.

Applications for funding under the 2008 programme were invited through advertisements in the Press on January 13th and 14th last. The closing date for receipt of applications is 29th February for paper-based applications and 7th March for online applications. All applications received before the deadline will be evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme.

The Deputy may be interested to know that the club in question have been allocated €520,000 under the programme since 2002.
