There are no legal issues outstanding in relation to any allocation made to the grantee in question under the Sports Capital Programme. All allocations made to the grantee in question under the Programme prior to 2007 have been paid. Payment of the 2007 allocation of €100,000 was authorised by my Department on 14 September last.

A further allocation of €20,000 was made to the grantee in question under the Programme in 2008 and tax clearance information in respect of a contractor is awaited from the grantee before this allocation can be formally approved. The club have been reminded of the need to submit the tax clearance information by telephone on 7 and 15 September 2009 and by letter on 18 September 2009.
