Question:

491 Ms B. Moynihan-Cronin asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will provide support to the Kerry Deaf Resource Centre (details supplied) for the provision of a family support worker; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9871/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern)

The Kerry Deaf Resource Centre made an application for a grant in 2003 under my Department's programme of grants for locally-based community and voluntary organisations. The application was unsuccessful.

The provision of a family support worker for the group would be a matter for consideration by the Department of Social and Family Affairs.
