Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 June 2015
245. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his plans to reinstate the cut to the social regeneration fund in Ballymun in Dublin 11 for 2015 and future years, as the regeneration is not complete and this cut is having severe consequences to services in the area. [24202/15]
View answerWhile the physical regeneration element of Ballymun is largely completed, my Department is providing continued support to social regeneration programmes. Last year, funding of €2 million was provided by my Department to Dublin City Council in respect of these programmes. My Department is currently actively engaging with Dublin City Council in respect of the required funding for Ballymun Regeneration for 2015, following which the allocation in respect of the various requirements, including provision for the social regeneration programmes, will be determined.
