Vol. 556 No. 3

Written Answers. - Grant Payments.

Dan Boyle

Ceist:

470 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism when moneys promised in budget 2000 will be paid to Cork Opera House to help complete necessary infrastructural work. [19954/02]

In December 2001, the Minister for Finance, Deputy Charlie McCreevy, announced in his budget speech that a once off grant of €1.9 million would be made available towards the refurbishment of Cork Opera House.

Payment has not yet been made pending resolution of issues around the legal arrangements that apply in such cases.

I now understand that final resolution appears to be imminent and payment will be made without delay when my Department's legal advisers give the appropriate clearance.
