Seymour Crawford

Question:

162 Mr. Crawford asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if it is possible for the North Eastern Health Board to obtain CLÁR funding towards the provision of a new health clinic in Killeshandra, County Cavan, in view of the difficult access to the present clinic and its limited facilities available to meet fire and safety measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11651/04]

Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Éamon Ó Cuív)

Killeshandra is not in the CLÁR region and therefore cannot be considered for inclusion in the health or any other measure, of the CLÁR programme.

I might explain that, in any event, small capital health projects, to be co-funded under the CLÁR programme, are proposed, in the first instance, by the Department of Health and Children following consultations with the health boards.
