Question:98 Miss Harney asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the amount of State funding received to date in 1997 by the Brú Ború Cultural Centre in Cashel, County Tipperary. [5671/97]
Written Answers. - Departmental Funding.
My Department has not made funding available to the Brú Ború Cultural Centre in Cashel, County Tipperary in 1997. An application has been received by my Department under phase II of the cultural development incentives scheme 1994-99 in respect of the project. I have taken decisions as to the allocation, in principle, of grant assistance to a number of applications received under phase II of the cultural development incentives scheme 1994-99. The application in respect of the Brú Ború Cultural Centre has not been successful at this stage.
However, in anticipation of the possibility that some of the applications which have received offers, in principle, of grant assistance under Rounds I and II of the scheme not going ahead within the timescale of the current round of Structural Funds, I am drawing up a stand-by list of projects that may be considered for assistance in due course in this eventuality. I hope to be in a position to make my decisions on the projects to be included on that list in the very near future.
