The club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme. The application was not deemed invalid.

A total of 2,036 applications were received under the Programme seeking €160m in funding.  €40.5m was allocated to 880 separate projects. Given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is unfortunately not possible to allocate grants to every eligible applicant.

All of the funding for the 2014 Sport Capital Programme has now been allocated and there is no more funding available at this time.

When the 2014 Programme was advertised my Department issued a guide to filling out the application form which clearly set out the Department’s minimum requirements that applicants had to meet to be considered for funding.

I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. Applications were deemed invalid primarily for one or more of the following reasons:
