Last week, the Minister for Health announced that Blessington football club was successful in its sports capital grant appeal and was to receive its €130,000. Another club in our constituency, Newtown football club, was also turned down for a grant in the first round but it has appealed the decision. It was very much about a minor administrative issue. It is unfortunate that the matter was not resolved at the time, because we all know that Newtown has been through a very difficult period. I hope the club’s appeal is successful. It has written to us about this. Is the Taoiseach aware of the status of the appeal and when the club will finally find out whether it is successful?
