I propose to take Questions Nos. 787 and 788 together.

Full details of the assessment process were set out in my reply to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 112 and 122 (37219/09 and 37218/09) put down by the Deputy on 21 October 2009.

All applications which were recommended for funding following the assessment process were allocated funding in 2006, 2007 and 2008.

Full details of all allocations under the Sports Capital Programme are available on the Department's website dast.gov.ie.

In 2008 I approved three additional grantees to the list of recommended allocations. These allocations were to:

Catholic Institute Athletics Clubs, Limerick;

Fethard Community Sports Field, Tipperary; and

Killarney Celtic FC, Kerry.

All of these grantees satisfied the terms and conditions of the Programme for an allocation to be made and will be required to meet all of the prescribed conditions before the payment of the grant is made.
