303. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media if her attention has been drawn to delays in releasing sports capital grant funding for a club (details supplied); if this funding can be issued before the end of the year; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe club referenced by the Deputy was allocated €134,580 towards natural playing surface development under the 2020 SCEP.
I am advised that examination of the documentation uploaded by the club in the course of its payment request raised a number of issues which required clarification. This information has been received by my Department which has kept the club contact apprised of the position and the anticipated timeline regarding payment. Payment of the grant will be facilitated before year-end if it is in order to do so.
