Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is great scheme. In Limerick at the start of October, we got €680,000 for 33 projects under category 1. There were some great projects. As for categories 2 and 3, many worthwhile projects are seeking funding, such as St. Munchin's Community Centre, Kileely, in the city, Murroe Wood Park, which has done fantastic community work, Our Lady of Lourdes Community Centre, Childers Road, Limerick city, and Hope for People with Autism, under Dóchas. When does the Minister anticipate that the announcement will be made? I know the difference this scheme makes to groups. I have seen groups such as Caherdavin Community Centre, the Cari Foundation, Mulcair Men’s Shed, Abington, and Southill Hub with the tranche going to category 1 and what a difference it has made to community groups. In regard to the timing for categories 2 and 3, when will the Minister be making that announcement? This is a brilliant scheme.
