Question:
304 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the status of an application to his Department from a scouts group (details supplied) in Dublin 24; and when he will grant funding for this proposal. [5821/00]
Written Answers. - Sports Capital Programme.
The sports capital programme for 2000 was advertised in early December 1999, with a closing date of 11 February 2000 for the receipt of completed applications. Initial processing of these applications has commenced and, if the organisation in question has submitted an application, a letter of acknowledgement will issue from my Department in due course.
Applications received under the programme will be evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria which are outlined in the guidelines which accompanied the application form. I intend to announce the grant allocations at the earliest possible date following completion of this assessment.
