446. Deputy Luke 'Ming' Flanagan asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if the €80,000 granted to a club (details supplied) in 2007 can still be drawn down; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20193/14]

I can confirm that the grant of €80,000 to the organisation referred to by the Deputy may still be drawn down. However it should be noted that grants cannot be maintained indefinitely and in the absence of progress unused grants may be considered for withdrawal. Staff in the Department's office in Killarney are available to provide further information.
