Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 23 January 2013
254. Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason an application for a sports capital grant was deemed invalid in respect of a club (details supplied) in County Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3263/13]
View answerThe club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme.
This application was deemed invalid for two reasons. Firstly, the club did not provided evidence of the required level of own funding. Secondly, the letter from the club's solicitor, required to show ownership of the applicant's land, was dated 15 June 2010 and did not state that the club were registered owners and that the land is capable of supporting a charge.
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.
