Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 14 June 2006
170 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he will offer financial assistance to voluntary groups attempting to deal with anti-social behaviour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23116/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is difficult to give a categoric response to this question in view of the broad range of supports to communities provided by my Department and the unspecific nature of the question. One example of my Department's support for communities attempting to counter the effects of anti-social behaviour is the RAPID Leverage Funds scheme. Specifically, these funds support projects aimed at housing estate enhancement, traffic calming measures, and community CCTV. If the Deputy has a specific matter in mind, I am happy to provide assistance.
