Written answers

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

No application has been received from the group concerned under schemes operated by my Department. However, in response to a letter received by me from the group, my officials have been in contact with the group explaining the schemes operated by my Department, including the limits of funding available under the schemes.
