The club referred to by the Deputy has been allocated €221,487 under various rounds of the Sports Capital Programme, €73,000 of which was allocated in 2014. If it is the case that the organisation is actively pursuing the drawdown of this grant and keeping the Department informed of progress, then the grant would not be withdrawn. I should also mention that the Department encourages the drawdown of grants in as timely a manner as is possible.
