Question:

318 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if capital funding will be provided for the theatre complex in Castleblayney, County Monaghan; if so, when it will be provided; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that this is part of an overall community building; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15807/01]

Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands (Miss de Valera)

The committee established by me to assess the applications, including the application for the Castleblayney Theatre project in County Monaghan for funding under the ACCESS programme for the period 2001-04 has recently completed its work. I expect to be in a position in the near future to make a determination as to which projects will be approved for grant assistance.
