Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Mr. N. Ahern)

I refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 48 of 5 October 2006. My Department is currently developing new White Paper funding schemes to replace the current schemes due to cease mid-2007. I expect to be in a position to advertise these new funding schemes in the near future.
