Amharc ar fhreagraLetters have issued to each of this year's unsuccessful applicants, including the one in question, setting out the reasons why they were not awarded a grant. As that letter pointed out, given the level of demand for funding and the amount of funding available under the Programme, it is not possible for my Department to allocate grants to every applicant. In this particular instance, the club did not meet a number of the basic qualifying conditions of the Programme including evidence of title. In addition the feasibility study submitted did not meet the requirements set out in the Programme's published guidelines, terms and conditions.
