Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department received an application for funding from the group in question under the 2004 programme of grants for locally based community and voluntary organisations. All applications received were assessed by reference to the criteria published in the scheme guidelines and prioritised with regard to the focus on disadvantaged communities contained in the application.
The assessment of the application from this group, based on the information provided, was considered in the context of these guidelines and resulted in its application being unsuccessful. A request for a review of the decision on this application has been received in my Department and is currently under consideration.
