Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 29 November 2012
276. Deputy Tom Fleming asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if he will allocate capital sports grant funding to a club (details supplied) in County Kerry to allow for the development of their new playing pitches and facilities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [53561/12]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department has received over 2,170 applications for funding under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme. This is the largest number of applications ever received under the Programme.
Departmental officials are processing all applications and this process will take some time due to the volume of applications received.
I expect to be able to announce the list of successful applicants later this year. All applicants, including the one referred to by the Deputy, will be informed of the outcome of their application at that stage.
