Vol. 467 No. 3
74 Mr. B. Smith asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht when an application for grant assistance will be approved in respect of Virginia Community Theatre Group, County Cavan; the amount of funding that will be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13129/96]
As the Deputy will be aware, I have approved in principle the funding of eight projects submitted to me under the Cultural Development Incentives Scheme 1994-99. The advisory committee which I established for this purpose has recently made its recommendations to me on the other applications received under the scheme. These are now under consideration and I hope to be in a position to make final decisions in the matter in the near future. A decision will be made on the application submitted in respect of the Virginia community theatre during this process.
