'Unprecedented demand' for Irish government's Sports Capital Programme
BY Pete Hayman
More than 2,150 sports clubs and organisations throughout Ireland have submitted bids for support through the government's 2012 Sports Capital Programme.
According to minister of state for tourism and sport Michael Ring, the demand for funding has been substantial with EUR7.50 (£6) sought for every EUR1 (£0.80) made available.
Ring said: "It means that we will only be able to allocate a fraction of the funding sought and the task of assessing applications will be very difficult."
