Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2389. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the amount spent on the local and community development programme in each of the years 2015 to 2017; and the allocated spend for 2018, by county in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34188/18]
View answerExpenditure on the Local Community Development Programme (LCDP) in the years 2015 to 2017 is provided in the following table.
The LCDP was superseded by the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) from 1 April 2015 in most parts of the country. However, due to a deliberative process in County Meath and County Galway, LCDP funding continued to be issued in those areas on an interim basis to ensure business continuity. The payment in Dublin during 2016 relates to LCDP wind-up costs claimed during 2016.
The table also outlines LCDP funding that was provided at a national level to the National Collective of Community Based Women’s Network and the National Traveller Partnership. Responsibility for these organisations transferred to the Department of Justice and Equality in 2015.
As the LCDP was superseded by the Social Inclusion and Community Activation Programme (SICAP) from 2015, there is no allocation/spend for the LCDP for 2018.
