Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
1230. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if she will address a matter regarding an application by a group (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33559/18]
View answerI understand that the project referred to by the Deputy in the question relates to an application submitted under the Enterprise Ireland Regional Enterprise Development Fund 2017-2020 (REDF).
The €60m REDF is aimed at accelerating economic recovery in every part of the country by delivering on the potential of local and regional enterprise strengths.
The first call, launched in 2017, funded projects with a total of €30.5m in grant support. The second competitive call, launched in April, closed on 28 June this year will allocate the remainder of the €60m, subject to eligibility and assessment. Full details on how applications are assessed have been published on Enterprise Ireland’s website.
I expect the decisions on the applications received arising from the competitive process to be announced later this year and since the process is ongoing, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the process or in respect of any individual application at this time.
