Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N Ahern)

As the Deputy is aware, I recently announced a further round of capital funding under the young people's facilities and services fund. A letter issued to the development groups in the 14 local drugs task force areas in early January asking that they submit proposals by the middle of March. Decisions on the funding will be made in due course.
