Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

The €5 million Humanitarian Assistance Scheme for Small Businesses is being administered by the Irish Red Cross on behalf of the Department of Defence.

My Department, therefore, has no responsibility for the management or administration of this Scheme, which is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Defence.
