Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
The club made an application in June 1996 under the sports capital programme, but did not receive a grant in either the 1996 round of allocations or those in 1997 which were decided by June last year, before this Government came to office.
My Department is currently examining all applications on hand from various clubs and organisations round the country seeking grant assistance under the programme in the context of the 1998 round of grant allocaltions. The applications from the club will be considered in the context of this examination.
