In 2017, my Department awarded a capital grant of €300,000 under the Arts and Culture Capital Scheme 2016-2018 to the centre referred to by the Deputy .
As is the case with all capital grants from my Department, the payment of the grant is managed under a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the project promoter. The SLA sets out the conditions which must be met by the project promoter in advance of the payment of the grant. At present, the project promoter is in the process of complying with these conditions in order to draw down the grant.
