No applications for payment of these grants have yet been received in my Department.
Payments under the scheme, where a local authority is not carrying out the work itself, are made through the local authority on receipt in the Department of expenditure certificates from the local authority. Grants for community, leisure and amenity facilities which are approved by local authorities outside this scheme are not recoupable by my Department.
