Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 31 January 2007
1075 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism if funding will be sanctioned to a project (details supplied) in County Mayo; the funding available under this programme; the amount they can expect to get approval for; and when a decision will be made on their application. [2053/07]
Amharc ar fhreagraI understand that an application in respect of the project in question was received.
I cannot, at present, comment on individual applications as an independent selection committee is currently assessing the applications received under ACCESS II. The Committee expect to provide me with recommendations by March 2007 and I hope to make an announcement regarding the scheme shortly thereafter.
Funding of €81m is available under the ACCESS programme over the life of the National Development Plan, 2008 to 2013. The level of funding for this round of ACCESS II will be determined by the quality and scope of the projects currently being assessed.
