The group in question is being funded by my Department under the scheme of training and supports, which was established under the White Paper, Supporting Voluntary Activity. Funding of €35,000 annually is available over a period of three years from 2003 to 2006. In addition, under the 2004 programme of grants for locally based community and voluntary organisations the group was awarded €9,000 towards the purchase of computer equipment. No additional funding is being considered at the moment.
