563 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application for national lottery funding from a club (details supplied) in County Wicklow; if his attention has been drawn to the great need for funding of the club and its work in youth development; and if he will ensure that funding is provided. [7998/99]
564 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if funding under the lottery programme will be provided as requested to a club (details supplied) in County Wicklow in view of its vital work in youth and community development; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8059/99]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 563 and 564 together.
Applications for financial assistance under the sports capital programme have been received from the clubs in question. These are two of almost 1,900 applications received and they will be considered when the grant allocations for 1999 are being made in accordance with the criteria for awarding such grants as set out in the terms and conditions of the new programme.
