Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

I have provided funding of €2 million for the RAPID Programme in 2013 . This will be used to meet my Department’s existing contractual commitments on RAPID projects throughout the country, mainly Sports Capital top-ups and CCTV systems; these are jointly funded with the Departments of Transport, Tourism and Sport and Justice and Equality, respectively.
