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 did not meet two of the qualifying conditions of the Programme in that the evidence of own funding and the evidence of title provided at the time of application was not sufficient.
