The Department allocates grants under a number of headings. Details of grants allocated to all counties under the sports capital programme are available on the Department's website at http://www.arts-sport-tourism.gov.ie/. Apart from the regular allocations announced under the formal sports capital programme, in December 2005 a further series of allocations to noteworthy projects on a regional scale were announced which included an additional €200,000 to the Ennis Town Council Lees Road Project. Details of arts grants to organisations in Clare in the years in question are set out in a table below.
It is not possible to disaggregate the cost of administering grant programmes to the level requested. Not all of the grants provisionally allocated to organisations in County Clare in those years have been drawn down. All grants are allocated subject to terms and conditions including a provision whereby the Department can fully or partially withdraw grants in the absence of satisfactory progress being made by the grantee, for any reason, in drawing down the grant.
