Adjournment Matter. - Community Development.

 

In 2001 and 2002, the funding under this subhead was €45.5 million and €47.6 million respectively for the three sub-measures of the programme. The outturn of expenditure was €43.2 million in 2001 and €53.6 million in 2002. Towards the end of 2002, ADM approached my Department. As there were some savings in my Department in December 2002 we gave ADM an extra allocation of €6 million. ADM has supplied a copy of the letter that indicated Longford Community Resources was allocated an amount of up to €2,399,805 for the period from 2001 to 2003, which equates to €799,935 per annum. This year it is getting €743,940, a 7% reduction on the annualised amount. The amount received by any partnership is a matter for ADM, which is independent of the Department and handles the whole subhead.
