Jack Chambers (Dublin West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputies for their questions. I am taking these questions on behalf of the Minister, Deputy Catherine Martin, this morning. I will ask her to revert on her engagement on insurance and other matters with the respective Departments. I know Deputy Murnane O'Connor's strong advocacy for Carlow and all things in many areas in Carlow. I appreciate what she has said relating to the pantomime business. The latest position is that payments will be made shortly. A total of 210 applications have been submitted. They are being assessed and to date grants totalling €6.5 million have already been offered to 79 applicants under the scheme. I will ask the Minister to revert to the Deputy on the specific local issue to make sure it is resolved.
