The requirements for making an application under the 2015 Sports Capital Programme were set out in a published guide to making an application. The guide was supplemented by YouTube videos that explained the application process in detail and Department staff were also available to answer any questions. The guide stated, in relation to providing evidence of own funding, that "Local Authorities, ETBs and 3^rd Level Colleges can provide a letter from their finance officer/accountant confirming that the required own funding is in place." The letter provided by the applicant referred to by the Deputy did not make it clear that the signer was a finance officer or accountant.  It is the responsibility of the applicant to clearly show that the terms and conditions of the Programme have been met.

The 2015 round of the SCP is closed and all of the monies have been allocated.
