Vol. 529 No. 4

Written Answers. - Sports Funding.

Trevor Sargent

Question:

225 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he will have examinations made into a proposal from a person (details supplied) in County Antrim for an Olympic standard sports facility and holiday village to become an overall sports complex providing accommodation for contestants to be located in the Border area outside Newry with investment coming from both sides of the Border; and if he will assess the validity of such a co-ordinated approach in providing such a sports facility. [2916/01]

I have not been provided with a copy of the proposal referred to by the Deputy. However, I wish to advise the Deputy that in any event the funding under my Department's Vote for development of sports facilities is for expenditure on projects located within the Republic of Ireland.

Michael Ring

Question:

226 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the amount of funding which has been allocated to the sports complex in Ballina; if his Department will make up the shortfall of funding; and if he will allocate additional funding to this project. [3026/01]

A total of 95% of the grant of £400,000, that is, £380,000, allocated to this project in 1994 has now been drawn down. Applications for funding under the 2001 sports capital programme have been invited and the deadline for receipt of completed applications is 5 p.m. on Friday, 9 February. Should Ballina Sports Conference Leisure Centre submit an application for funding under the programme, it will be considered when grant allocations for 2001 are being made under the programme.

Breeda Moynihan-Cronin

Question:

227 Mrs. B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he will meet with representatives of a GAA club (details supplied) in County Kerry to advise them of their situation following an unsuccessful application to his Department for lottery funding. [3061/01]

The club in question applied for funding under the 2000 sports capital programme and its application was unsuccessful. A copy of the assessment of the club's application carried out by the sports unit of my Department, was issued to the club.

Applications for funding under the 2001 sports capital programme have been invited and the deadline for the receipt of completed application forms is 5 p.m. this Friday, 9 February. I regret that as I have a heavy schedule of engagements in the coming weeks, I will not be in a position to meet representatives of the club. However, I met representatives of the Kerry County Board as recently as 29 January and the issue of funding for this club was raised by them at that meeting.

Bernard Allen

Question:

228 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the clubs and organisations in each county that have received grants under the capital grant scheme since 1 January 2000 to date; the grant applied for; and the grant received including the cost of the project. [3218/01]

The information sought by the Deputy in relation to the sports capital programme is as follows:

David Stanton

Question:

229 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation further to Parliamentary Question No. 1106 of 30 January 2001, the reason 966 applications under the 2000 sports capital programme were not successful; the number in each category; the places in relation to the 51 swimming pools mentioned; when each application was received; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3232/01]

A total of 1,645 applications were received by my Department under the 2000 sports capital programme. Of these 679 projects were allocated funding to the value of £36 million while 966 applications were unsuccessful.

Each individual application was assessed according to a detailed set of criteria. These criteria are outlined in section 5 of the guidelines, terms and conditions of the 2001 sports capital programme, a copy of which is attached for the Deputy's information. A scoring system has been developed, under which individual applications are scored between nought and five under each heading depending on the extent to which they met the assessment criteria. Different ‘weights' – one to four – are attached to the various criteria depending on their importance. The highest weighting is given to the disadvantaged criteria given that special priority is being given to the development of facilities in disadvantaged areas. At the end of this process each application receives a score which decides its order of priority within its own county.

The success or failure of each individual application was as a result of its score which decided its order of priority within its own county and having regard to the amount of funding available for distribution. Each unsuccessful applicant was issued with a copy of the assessment of their application, which listed the scores achieved under the different criteria and any other comments of my officials in relation to the assessment.

In relation to the swimming pool programme, the following table sets out the information requested by the Deputy.

Extract from Guidelines, Terms and Conditions of the 2001 Sports Capital Programme

5.1All applications will be treated on their merits and highest priority will be afforded to projects in disadvantaged areas aimed at increasing participation, particularly for young people. High priority projects will include those which are essential or integral to sports participation or performance, for example, pitch development, floodlighting, dressing rooms-showers. Priority for funding under the programme will not be afforded to works which are not essential or integral to sports participation or performance, for example, landscaping of grounds, boundary fences, equipment stores, car parks.
5.2 Applicants should note that for the purpose of the programme, disadvantaged areas have been defined as those areas which have been designated by Government under the operational programme for local, urban and rural development.
5.3Assessment criteria have been developed to help assess applications so that those offering the greatest community benefit are supported. The criteria will focus on:
the extent to which the project, in terms of growth targets, will increase the levels of active participation in sport, recreational sport and-or result in improved standards of sporting performance and how such increases can be measured; the extent to which the project, in terms of growth targets, will serve to increase participation in disadvantaged areas; the technical merits of the project, i.e. does the project comply with standard technical specifications from the relevant governing body and statutory authorities, possession of planning permission; the financial viability of the project, i.e. in addition to lottery funding, has the club/organisation sufficient funds or firm commitments for funding to complete the project within a realistic timeframe. Previous track record in fund raising is also taken into account; the level of local funding available. Higher rating is given to projects with a significant local contribution; given realistic projections of income from the project, the extent to which the applicant will be able to maintain the project after completion; the level of socio-economic disadvantage in the area, as defined by ADM Limited's indicators, and the current and planned levels of sport and-or recreational sport facilities in the area; the need to achieve an equitable geographical spread of funds, having regard to the range of existing facilities in each county; the extent to which applicants have consulted with other clubs, community groups, schools and the local authority in developing their pro posals and the outcome of these consultations; in the case of projects aimed at attracting people from disadvantaged areas, the strategies to be used to attract them; the need to achieve an equitable spread of funds among different sports and community groups; the priority of proposed improvements-facilities in relation to the club's or organisation's existing facilities; and the priorities for their individual sports, as identified by the national governing bodies.
