I propose to take Questions Nos. 1154 and 1162 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. Applications for funding under the 2008 programme were invited through advertisements in the Press on 13th and 14th of January and the deadline for receipt of applications was 29th February for paper-based applications and 7th March for online applications. All applications received before the deadline were evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme. A list of provisional grant allocations is available on the Department's website at www.arts-sport-tourism.gov.ie.

The organisation in question applied under the 2008 programme towards completion of all interior works to the clubhouse. The application was accompanied by quotations for these purposes and accordingly a letter issued from the Department on 7 August last informing the organisation in question of the allocation of €50,000 under the 2008 programme towards the interior of the clubhouse. Eligible works include toilets, changing rooms and storage, electrical and plumbing works, fire doors, flooring and painting. All allocations are subject to compliance with the guidelines, terms and conditions of the programme which are published on the Department's website at www.arts-sport-tourism.gov.ie.
