Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 July 2013
1024. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the number of successful applications made for funding under her Department's grants system for projects within County Kildare for each of the past four years; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [34669/13]
View answerMy Department operates a number of grant schemes of both a capital and current nature. Grant assistance is available under a number of sources, including funding for youth organisations and services, National Lottery funding, as well as child care programmes. The matters funded under the various categories include funding for youth projects and facilities, playgrounds, equipment and general childcare facilities among others.
In relation to funding for projects in County Kildare, the following table below details the number of projects funded in each of the last three years. I would note that my Department was only established in June 2011 and therefore information in relation to 2010 is not provided in the table of figures.
