Written answers

I propose to take Questions Nos. 1679 and 1680 together.

The organisations referred to by the Deputy applied for grants under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme.

When the 2014 Programme was advertised my Department issued a guide to filling out the application form which clearly set out the Department’s minimum requirements that applicants had to meet to be considered for funding.

I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. Applications were deemed invalid primarily for one or more of the following reasons:

Reasons why Applications were Deemed Invalid

Title/Access requirements of the Sports Capital Programme not satisfied

Insufficient evidence of planning permission, planning application, or exemption from planning

Evidence of own funding not provided in prescribed format

Insufficient own funding

All applicants have been informed of the outcome of the assessment of their application, including details of why applications were deemed to be invalid.
