Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 September 2014
615. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the position regarding a sports capital grant for an organisation (details supplied) in Dublin 13; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36569/14]
View answerThe organisation referred to by the Deputy was party to a joint application for a grant 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. Unfortunately this application was found to be invalid.
I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. However, Minister Donohoe recently received correspondence from the club referred to by the Deputy seeking detailed information on why the application was deemed invalid. Accordingly, a repIy will issue to the club shortly explaining clearly why their application was invalid.
