Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 March 2004
170 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when the towns designated as RAPID will be funded from the €4.5 million allocation announced recently; if all towns designated as RAPID will, in fact, be funded from this source; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8196/04]
View answerWith regard to the €4.5 million capital funding that is provided for the RAPID programme in 2004, it is envisaged that small scale projects will be co-funded by the relevant Department or local agency across all RAPID areas. I am in the process of conducting a series of meetings with my ministerial colleagues to agree arrangements for co-funding and I intend to make a formal announcement shortly regarding the precise details of the operation of this fund.
