Questions (540)

Pádraig MacLochlainn

Question:

540. Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a club (details supplied) was deemed unsuitable for any funding from the sports capital programme despite the fact they fulfilled the criteria to receive funding; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the club works on a cross community basis and caters for children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds and from the traveller community; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the club facilities were also described by the Amateur Boxing Association of Ireland as among the two boxing clubs in Ireland in most need of improvement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In the case of ineligible applications, I think that it would be appropriate that the designated club contact would be informed first of the reasons why an application may have been 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.
