Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

I refer to the reply to Question No. 192 of 18 December 2003.

My Department is currently in the process of considering the significant number of private sector grant applications received, taking account of existing commitments and competing demands on the environment fund, with a view to advising applicants of the outcome as soon as possible.
