I assume that the question refers to assistance from my Department under the voluntary housing capital assistance and communal facilities grant schemes. My Department's involvement with the voluntary housing schemes relates primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The administration of the scheme, and the certification that particular projects comply with the terms of the scheme, are the responsibility of the local authority. An application for funding under the voluntary housing capital assistance grant scheme has been received from Donegal County Council and additional information sought from the council is awaited. When this is to hand, the application will be further considered by my Department and the council will be advised of the outcome as soon as possible.
