The sports capital programme which is administered by my Department provides funding towards the cost of capital projects.
The 1998 grants under the programme were recently allocated and all funds have now been committed to a number of projects around the country. The Sligo Northside Sports and Community Leasure Centre was recently advised that it was not among the projects approved for grant aid in 1998.
The sports capital programme is currently under review. Accordingly, no further applications are being invited until the review is completed and I am in a position to publicise details of the new schemes.
