387 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application under the sports capital programme from a sporting organisation (details supplied) in County Dublin; and, if so, if he will provide financial support in view of the tremendous expansion of population in the area in recent years and the acute lack of suitable facilities for young people. [10846/00]
The Sports Capital Programme for 2000 was advertised in early December with a closing date of 11 February 2000 for the receipt of completed applications. In excess of 1,600 applications were received.
An application for funding under the programme has been received from the club in question. This application, together with all other applications, will be evaluated in the coming months against the programme's assessment criteria which are outlined in the guidelines which accompanied the application form.
