Question:

162 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if he will approve an application by a company (details supplied) in County Roscommon under the sports capital programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7277/05]

The national lottery-funded sports capital programme, which is administered by my Department, allocates funding to sporting and community organisations at local, regional and national level throughout the country. The programme is advertised on an annual basis.
