Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:15 pm
Ms Anne Fitzgerald:
We have no funding to do all of that. It is all done on a voluntary basis. It is done by Mr. O'Donoghue for the main part and members of the board over the years. That is where we are struggling. We know that we are an effective local and social enterprise. However, we are now at a level where we question how much more we can deliver without being stretched. All of our funders have very strict criteria and we are happy to be transparent, be compliant and do everything that is required. Where apportionment kicks in, not every programme allows us funding to do these things. We do not have any infrastructure for our computer systems. The things we are lacking are housekeeping stuff. We can do the big stuff.
