Vol. 473 No. 4
226 Mr. Broughan asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the current position regarding the commitments from him and the Eastern Health Board, including the Minister's facilitatory role, to enable the Northside Arts and Cultural Centre to proceed as soon as possible at Woodville House, Coolock, Dublin 5. [1621/97]
The Deputy will be aware that I have made an offer of funding to the extent of £300,000 to the Northside Arts and Cultural Centre, payment of which is subject to compliance by the promoters with standard conditions relating to the operation of the cultural development incentives scheme (CDIS). A number of issues relating to the project still remain outstanding. Officials from my Department are meeting with representatives of all CDIS—assisted projects and I hope that the outstanding issues relating to the Northside Arts and Cultural Centre will be addressed in this context.
227 Mr. E. Byrne asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the amount of funding allocated to arts projects in the most recent year for which figures are available on a county by county basis. [1772/97]
