Vol. 501 No. 2
320 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if a group (details supplied) in County Mayo can be approved for funding under the sports capital programme for 1999; and when a decision will be made on this application. [5672/99]
An application for financial assistance under the sports capital programme has been received from Bangor Hibs FC. 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 received 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.
