Vol. 519 No. 4
120 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application from an organisation (details supplied) for a recreational amenity grant; when it is proposed to allocate the funding available in this regard; and if he will make a grant allocation to them. [14035/00]
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.
