Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 October 2012
739. Deputy Timmy Dooley asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will provide the names of all of the organisations located in areas (details supplied) in County Dublin that have applied for sports capital grants under the 2012 programme, together with a brief description of each proposed project and the amount of sports capital funding applied for in respect of it; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerUnder the 2012 round of the Sports Capital Programme, 282 applications have been received from organisations in Dublin seeking €34m in funding for projects with a total value of €57m. Information on applications from the specific areas as sought by the Deputy is not available and its collation would involve a disproportionate amount of work for the Department.
Departmental officials are processing all applications and this process will take some time due to the volume of applications received.
I expect to be able to announce the list of successful applicants later this year. All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application at that stage.
