Written answers

Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív)

The organisation in question has received support under the Community Services Programme for the provision of services for a number of years. The last contract expired on 31 December 2009 and the offer of funding for 2010 has been approved.

My Department wrote to the organisation following the December Budget indicating that the contract was to be renewed and this matter is now in hand.
