Ruairí Quinn
Question:406 Mr. Quinn asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the reason a community-based organisation (details supplied) in Dublin 6 has been informed that its funding allocation under the local development social inclusion programme for 2004 has been reduced by €27,878 in the 2003 budget, leaving a shortfall of €68,652 on what is needed for 2004; the reason the organisation, which provides invaluable services not offered elsewhere in the locality, has been penalised; if, in view of the extra tax revenue now available, it will be awarded an allocation of €346,000 to do its work for 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
