269 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if Carmichael House Centre will be grant aided in order that it is in a position to draw down an offer of ?500,000 for essential refurbishment by a private foundation; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19424/02]
270 Ms McManus asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will consider providing funding for the Carmichael House Centre, which houses 45 groups, in view of the fact that the centre has been offered ?500,000 by a private foundation on condition that the State can provide the balance needed of ?250,000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19554/02]
287 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for Health and Children if he will give assistance to a group (details supplied). [18972/02]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 269, 270 and 287 together.
Responsibility for the prioritisation and provision of capital funding for organisations such as the Carmichael House Centre in the Dublin area is a matter for the Eastern Regional Health Authority in the first instance. Accordingly, the Deputies' questions have been referred to the chief executive officer, Eastern Regional Health Authority, with a request that he examine the matter and reply directly to the Deputies as a matter of urgency.
