986. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 163 of 11 March 2015, if he will provide details of allocations made rather than providing a website (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11837/15]

​ In the interests of efficiency, it is long established practice to direct Deputies to publicly available information in response to Parliamentary Questions. The full list of 2013 SportsNation allocations to Local Authorities, made in association with IPB insurance, is available at .

As I stated in response on PQ 10716 of 11 March, the deadline for the drawdown of SportsNation allocations is 30 June 2015 and Local Authorities have been informed that this deadline is absolute. While I am not aware of any Local Authorities that may not be able to draw down their grants by this deadline, after the deadline I will examine, in association with IPB Insurance, any opportunities to reallocate this funding to projects that can go ahead.
