58. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if her Department has received an appeal from a club (details supplied) in County Cork in respect of the Sports Capital Grants; if she will confirm that the proposed works in the appeal that are eligible under the terms of the scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI can confirm an appeal has been lodged by the club mentioned by the Deputy.
Currently my Department is assessing appeals from unsuccessful applicants. The deadline for submission of appeals was Monday 4 April and 146 appeals were submitted by the deadline. Of the record €150 million made available for capital projects, €6 million has been kept in reserve for any successful appeals and it is hoped to have all appeals assessed by the end of this month.
