Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 October 2017
539. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Rural and Community Development the status of the 2015 and 2016 action plans relating to the disbursement scheme; the reason for the delay in publication; when they will be published; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43625/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraResponsibility for the Dormant Accounts Fund disbursement schemes transferred from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs in May 2016. It subsequently transferred to my Department on 27 July 2017.
While the Deputy's question relates to periods prior to the transfer of responsibility to my Department, I understand that while there was no Action Plan for 2015, a Dormant Accounts Action Plan for 2016 was laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 14 April 2016.
