Question:

104 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Minister for Health and Children about the assistance that can be given to the north eastern branch of the Samaritans based in Drogheda in respect of the purchase of a new premises in Drogheda that will cost over €300,000. [9415/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children (Mr. T. O’Malley)

In the past funding was made available to several local branches of the Samaritans. I am not aware of an application from its north eastern branch. Applications are considered on their merits in the context of available funding.
