Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 July 2014
597. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when the clubs who applied for grant funding under the sports capital programme 2014 will be notified of the decision regarding their applications; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27823/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI was delighted to be able to launch the 2014 round of the Sports Capital Programme earlier this year. €40 million is available for allocation.
The 2,036 applications received under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme are currently being assessed by officials in my Department. Every application will be assessed by one official and reviewed by another. Given the number of applications received and the detail contained therein, this process takes a number of months to complete. I hope to announce allocations in the near future. The Department will also be contacting all applicants regarding the outcome of their applications.
