View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 580 and 581 together.
My Department recently invited Expressions of Interest from a variety of organisations, agencies and groups in respect of the funding of recreational Infrastructure projects, should funding become available.
This initiative has generated a considerable amount of interest and my Department will shortly carry out a detailed assessment of each expression of interest received, including any received from the groups referred to by the Deputy in the details supplied. This assessment process will allow projects to be prioritised for any funding which is made available.
