Vol. 506 No. 2
374 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has received an application for grant aid under the 1999 sports capital programme from a club (details supplied); and if a grant allocation will be made to this club in view of the facilities it proposes to develop and the benefit of these to the local community. [14974/99]
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 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.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 378 and 379 together.
Applications for financial assistance under the sports capital programme have been received from the clubs in question. These are two of almost 1,900 applications received 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.
380 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation the reason a club (details supplied) in Cork has not received the £12,000 grant allocated in 1997; and the way in which it can draw down the grant in view of the fact all the work has now been completed. [15227/99]
A grant of £12,000 was allocated to the club in 1997 under the sports capital programme.
In line with standard procedures, payment of the grant is subject to the club providing specific documentation and information confirming that the proposal complies with the terms and conditions of the programme. My Department wrote to the club in September 1998 outlining the information which is required. As soon as the documentation is received and found to be in order, payment will be made.
381 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation when the £70,000 which his officials have promised to allocate to a club (details supplied) in Dublin 11 can be drawn down by the club; the reason for the delay in releasing the allocation; and if the matter will be dealt with as soon as possible. [15438/99]
A grant of £70,000 was allocated to the club in 1998 under the sports capital programme.
The grant will be paid as soon as the deed of trust, which is currently being arranged by the Chief State Solicitor's Office and the solicitors acting on behalf of the club, has been executed.
