I propose to take Questions Nos. 210 and 222 together.
The Deputy will be aware that in June 2004, the Government announced an increase in the overall amount that the Dormant Accounts Fund Disbursements Board may spend from €30 million to €60 million.
The board has engaged Area Development Management, ADM, to administer this round of funding on its behalf. To date the board has approved 133 projects for funding totalling approximately €12.5 million. The details of these approvals, including the names of the individual organisations and the specific grant amounts are attached. Over the coming months, further allocations will be made by the board up to a total figure of €60 million.
The Deputy will also be aware that a figure of €10 million from the fund has been allocated to partly finance the rural social scheme. The rural social scheme is delivered at a local level by the Leader companies.
