Vol. 560 No. 3

Written Answers. - Community Development Programmes.

Pat Breen

Question:

447 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason a limit was imposed on community development projects entering the community development support programmes that would affect many communities in east Clare and Ennis; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2588/03]

In view of the tighter economic situation this year, it may not be possible to progress the expansion of the community development support programme at the same pace as we have done in previous years. The question, therefore, of providing core funding to new groups will be considered in the context of existing commitments and available resources. I anticipate that decisions relating to the expansion of the programme during 2003 will be made as soon as possible.

Question No. 448 answered with Question No. 443.
