Tom McEllistrim

Ceist:

388 Mr. McEllistrim asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the projects undertaken by the RAPID programme in County Kerry; the investment made in the county; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13715/07]

Amharc ar fhreagra

The RAPID Programme aims to ensure that priority attention is given to tackling the spatial concentration of poverty and social exclusion within the 45 designated RAPID areas. In addition, RAPID priority status was extended to Ballyfermot in 2006. This Department, with the support of Pobal, has overall responsibility for the co-ordination of the RAPID programme.

As I have indicated to the House on a number of occasions, it is a matter for individual Departments to report progress with their projects under the RAPID programme. In support of my Department, Pobal collects data from each RAPID area in respect of funding allocations received by projects from Government Departments and local state agencies. The latest data in respect of the programme is available on Pobal's website under the RAPID section (http://www.pobal.ie/live/RAPID). The Deputy may find it helpful to access this information.

The Deputy will be aware that I launched the RAPID Leverage Fund in 2004 to support small-scale projects identified by the Area Implementation Teams. The Exchequer provides the funding for these schemes.

I can confirm that a total of €599,503 has been allocated to Tralee RAPID area through Leverage funding to-date, for the provision of playgrounds, estate enhancement, traffic calming measures, health and sports facilities and CCTV provision. I can provide the Deputy with details of the various projects.

Following the enactment of the Dormant Accounts (Amendment) Act 2005, further funding was ring-fenced to support priority projects in RAPID areas under the 2006 round of funding and some €200,099 has been allocated to Tralee.
