View answerAs the Deputy is aware, officials from my Department have engaged with Finn Harps Football Club and the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to try to progress this matter. To date my Department has provided €834,000 to the project. In relation to the next stage, the club has submitted all of the required information regarding the request for funding for the appointment of a design team. This matter remains under active consideration in my Department at present and a decision will issue to the club as soon as possible.
