I propose to take Questions Nos. 346 to 395, inclusive, together.
I propose to take these questions, which refer to small scale community projects in RAPID areas, together. RAPID is a joint initiative and is funded on a 50/50 basis, between the Department of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (DCRAGA) and the Health Service Executive (HSE). While the Department of Community Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, with the (HSE) and Pobal, was involved in the assessment of projects sent forward for consideration, as the lead agency the HSE is responsible for the contractual arrangements involved in each of these projects. The Government recently announced its intentions to examine all current and capital expenditure as part of its decision to introduce further measures to stabilise the public finances. All decisions on funding will be taken in the course of these deliberations and will be announced in the coming weeks.
