Jan O'Sullivan

Question:

140 Ms O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the arrangements, if any, which have been made to ensure the continued viability of the Fantastic transport scheme; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [19583/99]

Minister for Public Enterprise (Mrs. O'Rourke)

In July the Government agreed to the provision of £105,000 to Fantastic in the light of financial difficulties which they were experiencing. I understand the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform made this payment during August.
