Question:103 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the funding, if any, available to a group (details supplied) to provide a new resource centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24704/99]
Written Answers. - Sports Capital Programme.
An application for funding under the 1999 Sports Capital Programme was received from the organisation in question. Approximately 1,900 applications were received under the programme and following assessment, grants were allocated to some 400 local community based projects throughout the country in July last. However, this organisation was one of the unsuccessful applicants.
I will be advertising details of the programme for 2000 shortly and it will be open to the organisation to re-apply for funding, if they so wish.
