The application referred to was deemed valid under the terms and conditions of the Community Sport Facilities Fund (formerly the Sports Capital and Equipment Programme). However, under the terms and conditions of the programme, the maximum grant available for local club/organisation projects is €200,000.

As the club was previously provisionally allocated funding for this project under earlier rounds the amount provisionally allocated under the current round is reduced, to ensure that the total allocated for the project does not exceed the €200,000 maximum grant limit permitted.

My Department has outlined this explanation for the current provisional allocation directly to the club.
