A total of €587,000 was provided in my Department's Estimates for 2011 to support the Community & Voluntary Fora in each county/city council area. This corresponds with €1.17 million provided in 2010. Local authorities were advised accordingly on 8 December 2010. In the circumstances, no forum can expect the same level of funding for this year as it received last year. I will, however, be shortly announcing details of funding allocations.
It is also important to acknowledge the continued financial support by local authorities for the participation of Fora representatives on Strategic Policy Committees, Joint Policing Committees and County/City Development Boards.
