Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 26 March 2015
270. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to the fact that correspondence sent to a sports club (details supplied) in County Cork regarding the Sports Capital Programme contains erroneous details of previous applications; the reason this inaccurate response was provided; if the matter will now be corrected as a matter of urgency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12520/15]
View answerOfficials in the Department have examined records for the organisation referred to by the Deputy and an error was discovered in relation to a 2001 allocation. The allocation was recorded on www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie as being “closed – fully drawn down” when it should have been recorded as "withdrawn". I am not aware of any erroneous correspondence being sent to the organisation.
The error occurred when grant information was being transferred to a new IT system. The records have now been corrected.
