Question:

104 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Health if his Department has received a submission from the Ballyfermot Integrated Groupwork Project, Dublin 10, for funding to work with eight to twelve year old children at risk; if so, his response to the submission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8514/97]

Minister of State at the Department of Health (Mr. Currie)

My Department has not received a submission from the Ballyfermot Integrated Groupwork Project. However, I understand the Eastern Health Board has received a submission from the group and that it will be considered in the context of the funds available for the development of child care and family support services.
