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 the 59 organisations based in Mayo that made an application under the Sports Capital Programme in 2008 is set out below. A list of all grant allocations, including those to organisations in Mayo, is available on the Department's website at www.arts-sport-tourism.gov.ie.
