With regard to applications for grants that have now been submitted, there are two issues for voluntary organisations submitting grant applications. The first is that they have submitted the applications before the rise in building costs and the second challenge they have is that they are not able to do the same level of fundraising. Will the Department make provision for, and be more aware of, the challenges organisations now have and take that into account when dealing with these applications and the carryover?
