Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 January 2013
688. 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. [2629/13]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe club referred to by the Deputy applied for a grant under the 2012 Sports Capital Programme.
The application was unsuccessful in securing a grant, but it was not deemed invalid, i.e. it met the minimum requirements and was considered for funding. My Department received 2,170 applications seeking €229 million in funding. In the context of available funds of €31m it was not possible to fund all valid applications.
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.
