As the Deputy is aware, my Department provided a capital scheme again in 2018 to assist providers improve the quality of their service or expand capacity. The response to the scheme was extremely positive. In order to facilitate service providers who were dissatisfied with the outcome of the appraisal of their application, a Capital Review process was offered to applicants.

This Review of applications is managed by Pobal on behalf of my Department, and as such I have a limited role in this process while it is on-going. However, I can confirm that the service provider in question's application is indeed being reviewed, and that the results of the review process will be communicated directly to all services concerned in the coming weeks.
