Vol. 501 No. 1
171 Mrs. Owen asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the status of the application submitted recently by a community organisation (details supplied) in County Dublin seeking a capital grant for a new facility at its sports and leisure centre; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5355/99]
An application from the community group in question has been received under the sports capital programme. This is one of almost 1,900 applications and will be considered when the grant allocations for 1999 are being made in accordance with the criteria for awarding such grants as set out in the terms and conditions of the new programme. Given the large number of applications and the level of work involved in evaluating them, I do not expect to be in a position to make final announcements on the 1999 round of grant allocations for some time yet.
