Question:

1619. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will examine an application by a sports club (details supplied) in County Kerry for a sports capital grant to develop an all-weather pitch at the complex as the club is totally inclusive in terms of the community's needs, caters equally for male and female sports and the current grounds are unable to cope with the demand all year round; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport (Deputy Michael Ring)

I can confirm that an application has been submitted by the organisation referred to by the Deputy under the 2015 Sports Capital Programme and the Deputy's support for the project is noted.

I expect to announce allocations later this year.
