As this case is under appeal, I am limited in what I can say. From discussing the matter with other people, I understand that the funding it has is in place for the remainder of the year, so there is a window of opportunity there. The decision is made by Pobal which is not under the aegis of my Department but under the aegis of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. Of course other factors need to be taken into account. Even an organisation that is doing very good work that might be very well meaning has to have all its accounts in order and all those factors have to be taken into account. As I have said, it is under appeal at the moment and I hope that Pobal will be able to find a solution that will be satisfactory to most people.
