I wish to take Questions Nos. 522, 524, 526 and 527 together.
The sports capital programme for 2002 was advertised on 25 and 26 November 2001 with a closing date of 4 January 2002 for the receipt of completed applications. A total of forty five applications were received from County Kildare and the names and the locations of these applications, as provided by the applicants on their application forms, are shown on the following tabular statement. Under the national lottery-funded programme, financial assistance is available to voluntary and community organisations including sports clubs and to national governing bodies of sport for the provision of sporting and recreational facilities. The programme is advertised annually and applications for funding from clubs-organisations have to be made on an individual basis. All applications received before the deadline for the 2002 programme are currently being evaluated against the the programme's assessment criteria, which are outlined in its guidelines, terms and conditions. I intend to announce the grant allocations for the programme as soon as possible after the assessment process has been completed.
