Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 November 2004
270 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when a decision on a grant application for a group (details supplied) in County Laois will be processed and adjudicated upon; if he will provide the funding sought; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27865/04]
View answerMy Department received an application for funding from the group in question under the 2004 programme of grants for locally-based community and voluntary organisations. The number of applications for funding received under the programme far exceeded the limited funds available and only those proposals which achieved a sufficiently high score arising from the assessment process have been recommended for funding.
The application for funding from the group in question failed to achieve a sufficiently high score to enable it to be considered at the moment. However, should further funds become available to the scheme this application will be then reconsidered.
