EMBATTLED local football club Derry City FC has received £1,360 in funding from the statutory Sports Northern Ireland (SNI) body over the past five years.
Sports Minister Nelson McCausland revealed that during the last five financial years Derry City FC has made one application to SNI for exchequer funding.
Programme
In August 2004, the club received £1,360 from Sports NI through its Safety Management programme.
The Minister released the information in response to a query from East Londonderry Ulster Unionist MLA David McClarty.
Expelled
Derry City FC, trading under the company name Wellvan Enterprises Ltd, were recently expelled from the League of Ireland for allegedly offering secondary contracts to players.
But since then a new company - Derry City FC Limited - has been constituted and a new board assembled with a view to making a fresh application to the league on behalf of the Brandywell club.
