Written answers

I presume the Deputy is referring to the Sports Capital Programme. The 2012 round of the Sports Capital Programme was the only round of the Programme during the period referred to by the Deputy.   

The table below shows all the applications received from clubs/organisations who listed their address as Dublin 2, 4, 6 (no applicants used the postcode 6W) and 8 with details of any grants awarded.  All valid applications in Dublin were funded.

The 4 main reasons why applications, from all areas, were deemed invalid were:

- No evidence of title / letter from landlord

- No evidence of planning application

- Insufficient own funding

- No evidence of required amount of own funding

These 4 reasons accounted for 75% of invalid applications.  All unsuccessful applicants received letters setting out the reasons why their application was deemed invalid.  If a particular applicant requires any more information or clarification they should contact the Sports Capital Programmes Unit of my Department in Killarney.
