Letters have issued to each of this year's unsuccessful applicants under the Sports Capital Programme, including the one in question, setting out the reasons why they were not awarded a grant. As that letter pointed out, given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is not possible for my Department to allocate grants to every applicant. In this instance, the project did not meet two of the qualifying conditions of the Programme in that the proof of title provided and the evidence of own funding submitted were not sufficient. There are no funds available to the Department to meet the rising costs of sports facilities.
