Vol. 501 No. 6
374 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application for funding under the sports capital programme from the Firhouse Community and Leisure Club; his views on this proposal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6759/99]
An application for funding under the Sports Capital Programme has been received from the group in question. This is one of almost 1,900 applications which have been received and it will consider 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.
