496. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the representations he has received from Independent Senators regarding sports capital applications and or grants in 2018; the detail of each; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31432/18]
View answerWith regard to the Sports Capital Programme, Minister of State Brendan Griffin and I receive numerous contacts from applicants, and Government and opposition elected representatives in relation to proposed projects. During the period referred to by the Deputy, I received one written representation from an independent senator. This was from Senator Billy Lawless and concerned a sports club in Galway. I understand that no written representations from Independent Senators were received by Minister Griffin in this period.
