133. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number of applications for grant aid or other forms of financial support received by his Department or bodies under his aegis funded by his Department from applicants in County Kildare; the extent to which it has been found possible to respond positively; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4818/13]
View answerThe tables below set out the number of applications for grant aid or other forms of financial support submitted from applicants in County Kildare to my Department and to the bodies funded from my Department's Vote Group during 2012; and also the extent to which it has been found possible to respond positively to those applications. For the sake of completeness, I must advise the Deputy that my Department also operates the Cessation of Turf Cutting Compensation Scheme. Under this scheme, qualifying applicants from various counties, including Kildare, are receiving compensation payments of €1,500 (index linked) per annum or deliveries of turf. Details of these personal applications and payments are not reflected in the table below.
