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 club in question has received allocations in 2002, 2006 and 2007. The 2002 allocations has been drawn down in full. The position in relation to the 2006 allocation is that legal formalities have yet to be completed, and in that regard I understand that the Chief State Solicitor's Office (CSSO) is awaiting documentation from the club. The position in relation to the 2007 allocation is that the club has yet to reply to the letter of provisional allocation issued to the club contact on 24 April 2007. Obviously it is not possible to progress any further with that allocation until such reply, including all relevant documentation, is received.
