Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Éamon Ó Cuív):

I propose to take Questions Nos. 427 and 428 together.

The Athy RAPID plan included a number of proposals for funding under various schemes, which have been forwarded to the relevant Departments for consideration. None of the proposals fall within the remit of funding schemes operated by my Department. My Department has allocated €14,500 to the Athy area implementation team, however, to support it in its preparation of the plan and in the implementation of the programme.
