asked the Minister for Labour when it is proposed to provide a capital grant-in-aid to the Johnsville soccer club, Waterford, so as to provide financial assistance towards the cost of developing the club's facilities.

Applications received for assistance in 1986 under my Department's capital grant scheme are still under consideration. I am not in a position at this stage to indicate when a decision will be taken on the application from Johnsville Football Club but I will ensure that it is processed as quickly as possible.
