Question:

371 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if the NeighbourWood scheme is suspended; if it has been re-activated; and the funding which would be available to a project (details supplied) in Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County Council if such an application were lodged. [8061/03]

Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources (Mr. D. Ahern)

I can confirm that the NeighbourWood scheme will operate this year. However consideration can only be given at this stage to applications already received due to budgetary constraints. No application has been received in respect of Fitzsimons Woods.
