Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport

I can confirm that an application has been submitted by the organisation referred to by the Deputy under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme and the Deputy's support for the project is noted. The applications  received under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme are currently being assessed and I hope to announce allocations later this year.
