Vol. 322 No. 9

Written Answers. - Dublin Sports Complex Project.

464.

asked the Minister for Education if he will lower the percentage of community contributions expected for a community sports complex project (details supplied) in Dublin in the light of the low income level of this area.

It is a condition of the national programme for the provision of recreational facilities that a contribution of one-third of the cost of each approved project be forthcoming from the local authority or local sources and the amount made available to me for the scheme has been allocated on that basis. Accordingly, I could not accept a lesser contribution in any approved case since such acceptance would result in a consequent reduction in the amount of grant available for other areas.
