Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

PEACEPLUS Programme: Special EU Programmes Body

Mr. Paul Beattie:

This is in train at the moment. There will be a shorter application. We have to operate within certain rules but there will be an administratively less burdensome claims process and in how we give the money out to groups. Guesstimating, we reckon most of the grants will be from £20,000 to £50,000. It can go up to £100,000. At the minute, we think the lowest will be about £10,000. Paperwork comes with this, and there comes a point at which it becomes too burdensome when you get down to £5,000 or £1,000. This will not work unless it is simpler but we still have to work within a set of EU rules.
