346 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport the position regarding payment of a grant to a club (details supplied) in County Cork under the sports capital grant programme. [2213/11]

A payment of €21,000 was approved by the Department to the grantee in question on 14 January 2011 and should be received by the club shortly. While invoices for grant assisted works are on hands in the Department for larger amounts the club has been advised it will be necessary to submit additional bank statements verifying that further amounts in respect of these invoices have been paid before more of the grant can be drawn down.
