To ask the Minister of Culture, Arts and Leisure to detail the funding availability for the development of a sports complex at Dungiven; and when the decision will be made on progressing this project.

I am committed to seeking to secure £2.5Million for the development of a community sports complex at Dungiven, as part of the City of Culture for the North West. This commitment, like all major capital investment, is subject to budget availability and the approval of a business case which will include confirmation of any necessary partnership funding for the project.

The Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has completed a consultation exercise on plans for sporting provision in Dungiven and is progressing with the development of a business case and detailed designs.

Officials from DCAL and Sport NI continue to work closely with the Council to

provide advice and support with regard to the business case.
