I propose to take Questions Nos. 377 and 380 together.
I understand that the grant of £200,000 referred to by the Deputy was once off in nature and specifically included a sum of £100,000 for expenditure associated with attendance at the 1995 World Games, with the balance earmarked for the wider development of the organisation.
Special Olympics Ireland's application for funding in respect of the 1999 World Games is currently being examined in my Department in consultation with the Irish Sports Council and a decision will be conveyed to the organisation in the near future.
As Special Olympics Ireland is currently being advised of its grant level for 1999, the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to publicise the level of grant for any organisation in advance of the organisation itself being formally advised in the first place.
