I propose to take Questions Nos. 364 and 373 together.
As part of the ongoing programme of value for money and policy reviews being carried out on my Department's programmes and schemes, an evaluation is currently underway on Leveraged Expenditure under both the CLÁR and RAPID Programmes. I expect that this study will be completed by the end of this year.
In addition, a review of the Rural Social Scheme was put in train by the then Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. When the proposed transfer of functions to the Department of Social Protection takes place in relation to the Rural Social Scheme, it will be a matter for that Department to complete the review and, accordingly, the Deputy will appreciate that it would not be appropriate for me to comment as to when the work might be completed.
