Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2022
895. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the reason that a community centre (details supplied) did not obtain funding under the community centre investment funds; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [51868/22]
View answerAll applications to the Community Centres Investment Fund are subject to a competitive assessment process based on the assessment criteria as set out in the fund guidelines.
Category 1 applicants were notified of the outcome of this process last week. Details of successful applicants are available on my department’s website at www.gov.ie/drcd.
The group the Deputy refers to applied for Category 3 funding under the Community Centres Investment Fund. Due to the high level of applications to the fund, the appraisal process is currently ongoing for Category 2 and 3. It is expected to be later in quarter 4 of 2022 when applicants for these categories are notified of the outcome of the application and appraisal process.
