Vol. 505 No. 4
153 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation his view on the application by the Glendalough and District Development Association Limited for funding under the national lottery; the likelihood of its success; and the date when he will announce the allocations. [14039/99]
An application for financial assistance under the sports capital programme has been received from the group in question. This is one of almost 1,900 applications and will be considered when decisions on 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 programme.
In view of the large number of applications received, 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 allocations for some time yet.
