I propose to take Questions Nos. 303 and 320 together.
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 deadline for receipt of applications under the 2008 programme has now passed and the club has not applied for funding under the programme.
While the date of the next round of the programme has not yet been decided, it is open to the club in question, should they wish to do so and should they have a project which satisfies the terms and conditions of the programme, to submit an application under the next round of sports capital programme. As in previous years, advertisements announcing the next round of the programme will be placed in the national press and application forms will be available at that stage. To ask the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism the number of applicants from County Roscommon under the sports capital programme 2008; the value of grant aid sought; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 306 and 318 together.
Under the Sports Capital Programme, which is administered by the Department of Arts, Sport and Tourism, funding is allocated to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The 2008 programme was advertised on 13th and 14th of January and the deadline for receipt of applications was 29th February for paper-based applications and 7th March for on-line applications. All applications received before the deadline, including the ones in question, will be evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. I intend to announce the grant allocations for the programme as soon as possible after the assessment process has been completed.
