Ceist:

371. Deputy Tony McLoughlin asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if an applicant was not awarded the full amount sought under the 2017 sports capital programme and their application was deemed to be valid, the mechanism by which a lesser amount was awarded; if the same formula is used for all allocations; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

A review of the 2017 Sports Capital Programme is now complete and has been published on my Department's website at:

All valid local applications received a grant offer determined by the following formula:

- The Maximum Grant for each valid application was multiplied by the Assessment Score for that application producing a weighted score (A);

- The total weighted scores (As) for all applications in a county were added together to give a total (T);

- This total figure (T) was divided into the Per Capita County Funding (C) giving a Ratio of total weighted score to the available funding (T to C); and

- The Ratio was then multiplied by A for each application to give the draft recommended allocation to each application.

For national and regional applications, the top scoring two-thirds of valid applications received a grant offer and the same formula was applied to calculate actual grant amounts. This formula was also used for allocations made on foot of successful appeals.
