Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern)

Proposals submitted as part of a second round of allocations in local drugs task force areas are currently being examined by the national assessment committee, which is chaired by my Department. I hope to make announcements in this regard in the near future.
