Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 January 2014
94. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number of applications received to date under the built heritage jobs leverage scheme; if he will provide a county and regional breakdown of the projects for which applications have been made; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4425/14]
View answerThe operation of my Department's Built Heritage Jobs Leverage Scheme in 2014 has been devolved to each local authority with allocations calculated by population size and number of protected structures in the geographical area served by each authority.
Applications from private individuals under the scheme are currently being accepted and assessed directly by local authorities. I have requested that local authorities submit a list of applications to me for approval by the 28th February 2014. As I have not yet received these lists, the information requested by the Deputy is not yet available.
