Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 December 2014
613. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the person responsible for funding the provision of outdoor gym equipment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48239/14]
View answerMy Department has no responsibility for the provision of outdoor gym equipment as such. However, my Department has previously funded outdoor gym equipment under the LEADER element of the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013. Funding under that programme is now fully committed but I expect the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme to commence during 2015 and there is potential under this Programme to fund such facilities if identified as a priority in the Local Development Strategy for the area.
