Vol. 502 No. 3
558 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application for funding under the sports capital programme from a club (details supplied) in County Limerick; if funding will be provided for the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7888/99]
An application for financial assistance under the sports capital programme has been received from the club in question. 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.
