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

There has been no reduction in funding available under the local development social inclusion programme in 2005. Funding of €42.144 million and €45.7 million was provided in my Department's Estimates in 2004 and 2005 respectively. I have been informed by ADM that it does not directly fund this group.
