The final instalment of social employment scheme grant aid is withheld from sponsors pending receipt and examination by my Department of audited accounts. Louth County Council submitted audited income and expenditure accounts in relation to ten of their social employment scheme projects. Following consultations between my Department and the county council nine of these claims have been finalised and all allowable payments made. The final claim in respect of the tenth project is currently being finalised.
One other project is due to end on 30 May 1987. This project has been paid up to second last payment stage. The second last payment will issue within the next two weeks. Finalisation of payments for the project will depend on the date of receipt of final audit statement for the project.
