Question:
To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure, for each of the last three years, to detail (i) the number of grants awarded for cross-community engagement in soccer clubs; and (ii) to whom the grants were allocated, broken down by constituency.
Answer:
Sport NI does not provide funding specifically aimed at cross-community engagement in soccer clubs. However, in 2010 Sport NI amended the terms and conditions of its funding to include a clause in relation to equality and good relations. As a result, applicants must operate an equal opportunity policy during and after completion of the project. They must also take all reasonable steps to ensure that the facilities and premises assisted shall be run in an inclusive manner which will aspire to, and promote, good relations. In the last 3 financial years Sport NI has made 82 awards to soccer clubs with 26 grants awarded in 2009/10; 39 grants in 2010/11 and 17 grants in 2011/12. Details of where grants were allocated, by constituency, are detailed in the table attached at Annex A.
