Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 July 2019
2445. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport when County Cavan will receive funding from the large scale sport infrastructure fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33621/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Large Scale Sport Infrastructure Fund opened for applications on 19th November 2018 and the closing date for receipt of applications was 17th April.
72 applications were received in total including one application from Cavan County Council. My officials are currently undertaking an initial assessment of the applications received. Details of all applications received have been published on the Department's website.
In view of the detailed information contained in each application, I am advised that it will take a number of months to have all of them assessed. Accordingly, I expect that it will be towards the end of this year before any allocations are announced.
