Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 1 February 2005
229 Mr. Kehoe asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the amount of funding that has been distributed to each RAPID programme in towns (details supplied); what amount was budgeted for in each RAPID project; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2732/05]
View answerMy Department, supported by ADM Limited, co-ordinates the implementation of the RAPID programme. It is, therefore, a matter for each of the other Departments to report details of funding for the proposals that fall within its remit.
My Department allocated funding to New Ross and Wexford under a number of co-funded schemes. Total funding of €40,000 was allocated to each town under the local authority housing estate enhancement scheme, which is co-funded with the local authorities. My Department also co-funded a playground scheme with the Department of Health and Children and total funding of €60,000 was allocated to each town for the development of new playgrounds. My Department also provided additional top-up funding to successful projects in RAPID areas under the sports capital programme 2004. Details of funding allocated are as follows:
