asked the Minister for Labour when it is proposed to provide capital grant-in-aid to the Holy Family boxing club, Ballsgrove, Drogheda, County Louth, so as to provide financial assistance towards the cost of developing the club facilities.

The closing date for receipt of completed applications in respect of the 1986 allocation under the capital grants scheme administered by my Department was 31 December, 1985. As no application was received from the club named in the question before that date, it cannot be considered for grant assistance until the 1987 allocation is being decided.
