215. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if all moneys allocated to a club (details supplied) in County Kerry, in the past, under the Sports Capital Programme, have been fully drawn down; the reason the club's most recent application was unsuccessful; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

According to the Department's records, all allocations made to the club referred to by the Deputy have been fully drawn down.

The club made an application under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme. Unfortunately, this application did not meet the minimum requirements and was found to be invalid. I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. However, a letter issued to the club contact clearly outlining the reasons. If the club wishes to have a copy of this letter resent, they should contact my staff in Killarney who will be happy to help.

The club did not make an application under the 2014 Programme and I would urge them to register on if they wish to apply under the 2015 round of the Programme.

There is no application on record for this organisation under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme. However, it was possible to identify this project, which was applied for by another organisation and I will answer in respect of this application.

Unfortunately, this application did not meet the minimum requirements for the 2014 Programme and was found to be invalid.

I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. However, a letter issued to the club contact outlining the reasons. If the club wishes to have a copy of this letter resent, they should contact my staff in Killarney who will be happy to help.

I hope to announce details of the 2015 round of the programme in the near future and I would urge any organisation that wishes to apply to register first on .
