To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if funding which was previously allocated to a club (details supplied) in County Galway under the sports capital grants scheme is available and will be allocated to the club based on conformation that all requirements are set out by his Department and in particular the terms and conditions of the scheme are met [5837/13]

The club referred to by the Deputy were provisionally allocated a grant under the 2007 Sports Capital Programme.
I understand that the club as a limited company was dissolved by the Companies Registration Office, and do not therefore have proper legal title to the club's property. The position therefore is that until this matter is resolved and all outstanding required documentation submitted to the Department it will not be possible to secure formal approval for this grant.
The grant remains available for drawdown by the club, and the club should contact the Department as matter of urgency to provide an update on the current position. It is not possible to guarantee that this funding will be available to the club indefinitely. In the absence of progress it may be forwarded to the Withdrawal Unit.
