Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will outline the names of the sports clubs and organisations in County Mayo which applied for the 2012 sports capital fund; the number of these organisations whose applications were deemed ineligible; the reasons these organisations applications were deemed ineligible; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54963/12]
View answerThe names of the sports clubs and organisations in County Mayo who applied under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme are published on my Department's website www.dttas.ie. A total of 106 local applications were received for County Mayo of which 59 were deemed invalid. My Department will be writing to all applicants in the coming weeks and the reasons why applications were deemed invalid will be outlined to the relevant applicants.
Some of the reasons why local applications from Mayo were deemed invalid include:
- Insufficient own funding or no evidence of own funding
- Work on project already commenced
- No evidence of freehold/leasehold/letter from landlord
- No quotations/estimates submitted
- No evidence of planning permission or application for same or letter from technical supervisor stating that planning permission is not needed.
