I propose to take Questions Nos. 11 and 35 together.
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. In excess of 1,600 applications were received and the initial processing of these applications has commenced. Until such time as the processing has been completed, I am not in a position to indicate the combined value or cost of these applications.
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 hope to be in a position to announce the grant allocations by June 2000 at the latest.
