Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation (Dr. McDaid)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 511, 513, 514, 515 and 516 together.

Applications for financial assistance under the sports capital programme have been received from the clubs and organisations in question. These are some of almost 1,900 applications received and they 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.
