Theme 1 seemed to me to be the most open for community groups with the reimagining communities initiative. I know the closing date for it was last September. Senator Currie touched on this as well. It seemed to be a really positive avenue. A few groups locally in Louth have come to me about this. They say that they fit into certain boxes and have the potential for cross-community and cross-Border things but they do not know where to go if they cannot access theme 1 because it is closed now. Those types of projects might fit into the category of building positive relationships but if it is infrastructure and capital perhaps they might not. Are there any other avenues for those? Theme 1 was a very open, very community oriented, low-level, high-impact, grant.
