The club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme.
As the club do not appear to either own or have a long lease to the land where the proposed development was to be located, the only alternative was for the applicant to submit a joint application with the school who own the land. The applicant did not provide the documentation necessary for a joint application with the school and therefore the application had to be deemed invalid.
A letter setting out the reasons why the application was deemed invalid has been sent to the club contact. If the club requires any more information or clarification they should contact the Sports Capital Programmes Unit of my Department in Killarney.
The 2012 Sports Capital Programme is now closed and all the monies under this round have been allocated.
