The cultural development incentive scheme, 1994-99, is the only scheme being operated by my Department under which discretionary moneys are available for capital investment in cultural projects. A total of 170 applications were received by me under this scheme and, of these, five applications were received from Waterford city and county. These projects are; Dungarvan Cultural Centre, County Waterford; Garter Lane Arts Centre, Waterford city; Waterford Theatre Royal, Waterfore city; Cultúrlann na Rinne, An Rinn, Contae Phort Láirge; Sean Choirce Teoranta, Heritage Centre, Dungarvan, County Waterford.
No decisions have yet been made with regard to projects to which funding will be offered under this scheme. However, I expect to be in a position to announce my initial decisions under the scheme very soon.
