Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 June 2005
531 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the funding he will disburse from the dormant accounts fund in 2005 to community and voluntary groups in County Cork; the groups which submitted applications; the groups which were successful in their application; the amount allocated to each group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22828/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will be aware that decisions on the disbursement of unclaimed moneys from the dormant accounts fund are a matter for the Dormant Accounts Fund Disbursements Board. This is an independent statutory body, under the aegis of my Department, established under the dormant accounts acts. The board engaged Area Development Management Limited, ADM, to administer the initial round of funding on its behalf, which involves the disbursement of up to €60 million from the fund.
The board has to date approved 482 projects for funding totalling approximately €56.2 million, from the initial allocation of €60 million. In accordance with the board's disbursement plan, the bulk of this funding is initially being targeted at those areas designated as most disadvantaged, i.e. RAPID, CLÁR and drugs task force areas.
I understand 184 applications were received in respect of proposals from County Cork and that 59 of these were successful involving approved funding of more than €8 million. A breakdown of these projects, including the grant amounts approved, is provided in the following table.
