The organisation referred to by the Deputy made an application under the 2017 Sports Capital Programme (SCP) but was deemed invalid at assessment stage for reasons which were notified to the club. All applicants deemed invalid or partially invalid were invited to appeal the Department’s decision if it was felt that an error had been made in the assessment process but the organisation in question did not lodge any such appeal. 

All clubs with applications that remain invalid have been informed that they can resubmit their 2017 application, along with any corrected documentation to make their application valid for the next round of the SCP without the necessity of submitting a full new application. I expect an announcement will be made shortly regarding when the new round of the programme will be open for applications.
