Vol. 489 No. 6

Written Answers. - Grant Payments.

Michael Ring

Question:

582 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the grants, if any, paid in each of the years from 1992 to date to a project (details supplied) in County Mayo; and if she will give details of the work covered for each segment paid. [9460/98]

Since this question, which specifically relates to matters regarding a Gaeltacht scheme, is being put to me in English, I am answering it in English even though I have stated that it is my policy to answer all such representations and parliamentary questions in the Irish language.

The following table gives details of grants paid to the project since 1992. In addition to the payments listed, an application for payment of the second instalment of a grant of £10,000 sanctioned on 5 September 1996 is currently being processed by my Department.
