Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 May 2017
113. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the status of an application under the communities integration fund (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [20933/17]
View answerI launched a call for applications under the Communities Integration Fund on 7 February with a closing date of 30 March, 2017. A total amount of €500,000 will be made available to local community based groups to promote integration in their area e.g. local sporting clubs, faith-based groups, cultural organisations and community support networks. Grants/funding may be provided up to a maximum of €5,000 depending on the size and nature of the project. I am delighted with the response to the call as over 300 applications, including the one referred to, have been received. These are being assessed and all applicants will be informed within the next number of weeks as to the outcome of their application.
