Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
686. Deputy Brian Walsh asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if an application under the sports capital programme by an organisation (details supplied) in County Galway was deemed invalid; and if so, the reason for this outcome. [2627/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme.
The application was deemed invalid as the applicant did not satisfy the requirements relating to the ownership of the land where the proposed development was to take place. All applications for capital works of over €25,000 were required to provide a solicitor's letter confirming, among other things, that the applicant either owned the site for the proposed facility or held it under a registered lease that was capable of supporting a charge. The applicant did not satisfy this requirement.
A letter setting out the reason why the application was deemed invalid has been sent to the club contact. If the club requires any more information or clarification they should contact the Sports Capital Programmes Unit of my Department in Killarney.
The 2012 Sports Capital Programme is now closed and all the monies under this round have been allocated.
