Answer
The British Association for Shooting and Conservation received a £10,000 Small Business Support Grant in April 2020, as the premises they occupy in Lisburn met the qualifying criteria for this Scheme.
No funding has been allocated to hunting associations through the Localised Restrictions Support Scheme currently being administered by Land & Property Services. Hunting associations do not meet the qualifying criteria for this Scheme.
DAERA officials have confirmed that no DAERA funding offered to support businesses during the Covid-19 outbreak was allocated to hunting associations.
