Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
470. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the sports capital applications that have been received from Dublin City Council in the past year; if they were successful; and if those not successful will be reconsidered for funding, if moneys not drawn down in 2014 are redistributed to existing applications. [16228/15]
View answerDetails of all applications and allocations under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme are published on the Department’s website www.dttas.ie. When these grants were announced all organisations were informed, as part of the terms and conditions of the Programme, that they had to have completed a substantial amount of progress on their projects to facilitate the drawdown of the grant by 31 July 2016. The issue of withdrawing these grants will not arise until after that date at the earliest. It is not the Department's policy to reallocate funding to new grantees where the existing grantees are experiencing difficulties in the drawdown of their grants.
