590. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a group (details supplied) in County Galway was not successful in its recent application under the sports capital programme; the reason this application was deemed invalid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37790/14]

The organisation referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme.
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:
- Title/Access requirements of the Sports Capital Programme not satisfied
- Insufficient evidence of planning permission, planning application, or exemption from planning
- Evidence of own funding not provided in prescribed format
- Insufficient own funding.
All applicants have been informed of the outcome of the assessment of their application, including details of why applications were deemed to be invalid.
