We wish to make an enquiry, under the freedom of information act,

regarding an application for Sports Capital Funding made in 2015/2016 by

Scoil Chonglais, KWETB, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow for all weather pitch on site in

the school grounds, Parkmore, Baltinglass, Co Wicklow

At the time we were approached by the school and subsequently supplied

the school with a letter of support to state we would use such a facility if it

was available locally, as I believe other community clubs did. The school

received funding of ~ 97k for their facility.

We hired the facility from the school last season for our club and paid an

hourly rate, however, this year we have been excluded from using the facility

and one local club have been given exclusive use of the facility.

We wish to enquire if our letter of support was used with that application

and would like a copy of the terms and conditions of the funding being

granted.
