Written answers

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

As the Deputy will be aware, my Department does not operate a specific scheme or programme to support playground committees, however, my Department does operate a number of programmes and schemes and some funding may be available for an element of the project that the Deputy refers to. It should be noted however that each of the schemes and programmes operated by my Department are governed by rules and regulations, which projects must meet in order to qualify for funding.

Details of all the programmes and schemes operated by my Department, including eligibility criteria can be accessed on the Department's website at www.pobail.ie.
