Written Answers - National Lottery Funds.

226.

asked the Minister for Education if she will allocate money to Dungarvan GAA Club, Dungarvan, County Waterford for the building of a new centre from the profits of the national lottery funds.

Before the availability of a grant for the project in question can be considered, it will be necessary for the club to apply formally for aid under my Department's capital grant scheme for the provision of recreational facilities.

I have sent details of this scheme to Deputy Deasy together with a copy of the relevant application form.

Before the availability of a grant for the project in question can be considered, it will be necessary for the club to apply formally for aid under my Department's capital grant scheme for the provision of recreational facilities.

228.

asked the Minister for Education if she will allocate money from the national lottery profits to Tramore Soccer Club, County Waterford who have already spent £160,000 for two pitches and dressing rooms and are experiencing some financial difficulty.

Under the terms of my Department's capital grant scheme for the provision of recreational facilities, assistance may not be allocated in respect of work carried out in the absence of official grant approval. Accordingly, as I understand that the work in question has already been done, it is not open to my Department to consider sanctioning a grant for Tramore Soccer Club.

My Department have been allocated a sum of £4 million from the proceeds of the national lottery, to aid projects under the capital grant scheme for the provision of recreational facilities. The allocation was announced by the Government on the 19 November 1987.
