Vol. 439 No. 5
39 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Education if she has made a decision regarding an application by Waterford Corporation for national lottery funds for the completion of the sports complex at Kilbarry, County Waterford; and if she will ensure that moneys are made available for the completion of this work.
Under the national lottery funded multi-annual sports capital programme, introduced by Government in 1988, Waterford was designated a regional sports centre and a grant of £0.5 million was allocated for the development of further sports facilities at Kilbarry to complement the existing facilities provided by Waterford Corporation during the 1980's.
The project comprised the provision of a synthetic surface on the athletic track, security fencing, new entrance, car park, athletic equipment and other ancillary works.
A further grant of £200,000 was allocated in 1991 under this programme for the provision of an athletics pavilion including spectator accommodation and dressing rooms adjoining the athletic track.
