Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 April 2014
815. Deputy Dan Neville asked the Minister for Health if he will provide an update on an application for national lottery funds from his Department in relation to application which was submitted in September 2013 on behalf of Newcastle West Rovers for grant aid to provide clubhouse facilities at the team's newly developed playing pitches at Killeline, Newcastle West, County Limerick. [19055/14]
View answerMy Department administers a National Lottery Discretionary Fund from which once-off grants are paid to community and voluntary organisations providing a range of health related services. The application from Newcastle West Rovers was considered to be more appropriate to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. Accordingly, my Department wrote to them on the 25th September 2013 advising that they should apply for funding from the Sports Capita Programme.
