Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (Deputy John Curran)

Almost €4.4m has been paid to 104 community and voluntary organisations operating the Scheme of Community Support for Older People in the Dublin area since January 2004. Information on the level of grants paid to each of these groups is available on my Department's website at www.pobail.ie. For the convenience of the Deputy, I am arranging to have the relevant details forwarded to her directly.
