Written Answers. - Recreational Facilities.

Michael Creed

Question:

138 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education if her attention has been drawn to the development plans by an organisation (details supplied) in County Cork; and if any assistance is available from her Department for such works.

Minister for Education (Ms Bhreathnach)

No application has been received by my Department from the organisation in question.

The capital grants scheme for the provision of recreational facilities which was administered by my Department was amalgamated in 1990 with the amenity grants scheme operated by the Department of the Environment and the local authorities, who are now responsible for processing all such applications.

All of the funds under my Department's multi-annual capital programme for the provision of sports facilities at regional and local level are fully committed to existing projects. It is not possible therefore to provide funding for any additional projects under this programme at present.
