Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality

The proposal referred to is a follow up to a project supported by the European Integration Fund which is administered by Pobal on behalf of my Department.

I intend to have a call for applications for national funding for measures to promote the integration of migrants and combat racism and xenophobia shortly and the proposal can be considered in that context.
