Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

PEACEPLUS Programme: Special EU Programmes Body

Ms Gina McIntyre:

Mr. Huddleston may want to come in on that. On a small project scale, it is really about the linkages. If it is cross-Border linkages, we do not mind what sector they are in or what activity they are doing, whether it is woodwork or knitting, training or sports or whatever. It does not matter what it is. It is about the linkages and bringing people together. We would perhaps advise that it might not be that half of the apprenticeships would be trained down here and there. They might be trained together but just use different venues. The detail would be up for discussion with the people who would administer the small grants. However, the small grants will be run, as Mr. Beattie said, in a much more administratively straightforward way and treated a bit more like a service than a grant in terms of how people access their payments and show they have been successful.
