The position is generally as set out in my reply to Question No. 280 on 22 February 2005. Since giving that reply, €1.5 million has transferred from the Department of Health and Children to co-fund the development of playgrounds. Accordingly, the amount of funding to support small-scale proposals in RAPID areas in 2005 has increased from €6 million to €7.5 million.
