Vol. 502 No. 3
555 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if the application for funding from the sports capital programme for the Enniskerry community youth and sports centre will be favourably considered in view of the strong case made for funding; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7611/99]
An application for funding from Enniskerry community youth and sports centre has been received under the sports capital programme. This is one of almost 1,900 applications and will be considered when the grant allocations for 1999 are being made in accordance with the criteria for awarding such grants as set out in the terms and conditions of the new programme.
Given the large number of applications and the level of work involved in evaluating them, I do not expect to be in a position to make final announcements on the 1999 round of grant allocations for some time yet.
