Vol. 490 No. 6
105 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he will consider favourably the application from a club (details supplied) for grant aid in view of its record of sports provision in Wicklow town and its plans for the future; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10895/98]
An application for funding under the sports capital programme was received from Wicklow Town Football Club in April 1997.
1998 grants under the programme were recently allocated and all available funds have now been committed to a number of projects around the country. The club was recently advised that it is not among the projects approved for grant aid in 1998.
The sports capital programme is currently under review. Accordingly, no further applications are being invited until the review is completed and I am in a position to publicise details of the new schemes.
