Vol. 503 No. 2
202 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application from Glenmore parish pastoral council for grant assistance for an outdoor sports area; and when a decision will be made on this matter. [9489/99]
An application for financial assistance under the sports capital programme has been received from the group in question. This is one of almost 1,900 applications and it will be considered when 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 allocations for some time yet.
