Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 April 2011
126 Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs when a decision will issue on an application for funding under the Dormant Accounts Fund (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [8866/11]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Deputy will appreciate the constraints in responding in specific terms to a Question submitted in a "details supplied" format. I can say, however, that 8 projects were identified and prioritised for funding purposes in the area referred to by him. These were submitted to Pobal for assessment in October 2010 and are currently being considered by my Department.
I should add that responsibility for the Dormant Accounts Fund (DAF) and related matters are in the process of being transferred to my colleague, Mr Phil Hogan, T.D., Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government. It is anticipated that the transfer will take legal effect from 1 May 2011.
