Question:

345 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the steps taken to provide funding for a project (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35558/07]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Pat Carey)

I understand that the project in question is primarily funded through FÁS. The process for any project seeking funding through the National Drugs Strategy is to make an application through the relevant Local or Regional Drugs Task Force who, in this case, is Finglas Cabra Local Drugs Task Force (LDTF). I understand that the LDTF in question has received an application for funding from the project which is currently being considered by them.
