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 club in question did not apply for funding under the 2008 programme. Under the 2000, 2001 and 2003 Sports Capital Programme grants of €253,948, €253,948 and €150,000 respectively were awarded. 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.
