The RAPID programme aims to ensure that priority attention is given to tackling the spatial concentration of poverty and social exclusion within designated RAPID areas nationally. Applications for the two projects referred to by the Deputy were submitted for consideration under the RAPID Health Sector Co-Fund. The lead agency in relation to the projects referred to in the Deputy's question is the HSE.

One of the projects referred to by the Deputy, the provision of a bus, has already been funded under RAPID. A decision on the second application will be made in due course, subject to funding being available.
