Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 February 2015
216. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason a recent application (details supplied) in County Kerry, under the sports capital programme, was unsuccessful; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7529/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraThere is no application on record for this organisation under the 2014 Sports Capital Programme. However, it was possible to identify this project, which was applied for by another organisation and I will answer in respect of this application.
Unfortunately, this application did not meet the minimum requirements for the 2014 Programme and was found to be invalid.
I do not consider it appropriate to publish details of why individual applications were deemed invalid. However, a letter issued to the club contact outlining the reasons. If the club wishes to have a copy of this letter resent, they should contact my staff in Killarney who will be happy to help.
I hope to announce details of the 2015 round of the programme in the near future and I would urge any organisation that wishes to apply to register first on www.sportscapitalprogramme.ie.
