Vol. 519 No. 2
302 Mr. Higgins (Dublin West) asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if a decision has been made on the application by the civil service cricket club and athletic club, under the 2000 capital programme, for assistance (details supplied); and if he will accede to this application. [13375/00]
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 organisation in question. This application, together with all other applications, is being 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 process.
