Vol. 530 No. 6
330 Mr. S. Ryan asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will respond favourably to the application submitted by Rush Dramatic Society, County Dublin for grant aid for their Millbank Project 2000 under ACCESS. [4469/01]
The Deputy will be aware that I have secured a total of £36 million of Exchequer funding for ACCESS for the period 2001-2004. An initial assessment of the Millbank Project application for ACCESS funding has been completed and it has been determined that the project in question has met the broad criteria for eligibility. Accordingly, the application will now undergo a full evaluation along with other eligible applications and, on the basis of this, recommendations on the projects to be supported will be submitted to me for decision.
