Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 May 2010
174 Deputy Catherine Byrne asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the details of the 2010 budgets for each of the local and regional drugs task forces; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22439/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe allocations from my Department to the 14 Local Drugs Task Forces and the 10 Regional Drugs Task Forces in 2010 are set out below in tables 1 and 2 respectively. The funding allocated will support nearly 500 initiatives that the Task Forces have prioritised for investment in their respective areas. In addition, I recently announced that funding of €600,000 is being made available for small-scale capital projects in the Task Force areas. Proposals in this regard are currently being developed by the Task Forces. I am satisfied that, with the funding allocated from my Department, the Task Forces will continue to make a positive impact on the drugs problem in their areas through their community-based initiatives.
