Vol. 494 No. 4
404 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation whether his Department has received an application for grant aid from Midleton Soccer Club in County Cork to enable the club to develop an all weather pitch; whether he will be in a position to make this grant available; if so, when; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18735/98]
An application for funding under the Sports Capital Programme was received from Midleton Soccer Club towards the cost of an all weather pitch.
The 1998 grants under the programme were allocated earlier this year and all funds have now been committed to a number of projects around the country. The club was advised in April 1998 that they are not among the projects approved for grant aid in 1998.
The Sports Capital Programme is currently under review. Accordingly, no further applications are being invited until the review is completed and I am in a position to publicise details of the new schemes.
