View answerThe organisation adverted to by the Deputy, which is held in high esteem, recently had a positive meeting with officials of my Department to discuss further assistance in the area in question. A proposal from the organisation is expected shortly and will be given immediate consideration. To date in 2004, the organisation has received €6.8 million for development and rehabilitation activities, €1.2 million towards personnel costs and €557,000 for emergency interventions.
