Vol. 514 No. 4

Written Answers. - National Lottery Funding.

Ceist:

183 Mr. Hayes asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation if he has considered an application for national lottery funding from an organisation (details supplied) in Dublin 24; the timeframe involved before a decision is taken on this matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4421/00]

The sports capital programme for 2000 was advertised in early December 1999 with a closing date of 11 February 2000 for the receipt of completed applications. Initial processing of these applications has commenced and, if the organisation in question has submitted an application, a letter of acknowledgement should issue from my Department in due course.

Applications received under the programme will be evaluated against the programme's assessment criteria which are outlined in the guidelines which accompanied the application form and I intend to announce the grant allocations at the earliest possible date following completion of this assessment.
