Letters have issued to each of this year's unsuccessful applicants, including the one in question, setting out the reasons why they were not awarded a grant. As that letter pointed out, given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is not possible for my Department to allocate grants to every applicant. In this instance, the club failed to meet a qualifying condition of the Programme in that the proof of title provided was not sufficient.

As outlined in the reply to Parliamentary Question No 270 of 3 November 2007, in cases of existing registered leases of twenty-one years or more which are capable of supporting a charge, the applicant must provide evidence that the lease has been registered with the Property Registration Authority with a minimum of 15 years remaining. Evidence of lodging the lease for registration is not sufficient.
