View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 514 to 517, inclusive, together.
My Department has provided funding to the entity referred to in the questions under the LEADER element of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. In 2009, Longford Community Resources Limited, the relevant Local Action Group contracted on behalf of my Department to deliver the LEADER funding, provided grant aid of €2,460 for a feasibility study into the construction of a community facility. In 2011, over €198,797 was provided to construct a training & community facility and €4,971 was provided for a rural leadership course.
In addition the Local Development, Social Inclusion Programme (LDSIP) and its successor Local Community Development Programme (LCDP) also implemented by my Department provided the following funding to Longford Women’s Link:
|
2009 |
€55,000 |
|
2010 |
€31,000 |
|
2011 |
€33,000 |
|
2012 |
€40,000 |
|
2013 |
€32,000 |
|
2014 |
€27,937.50 |
My Department has no role in relation to the provision of ongoing staff funding or in relation to waiting lists for the centre. I understand that the Department of Social Protection has also provided funding under its Community Programmes.
