The organisation referred to, which is a family resource centre, applied to my Department for a grant from the Health and Children allocation of national lottery funds in April 2004. The organisation sought funding of €6,500 towards the cost of carrying out a feasibility study to determine the development potential of the courtyard area and the building adjacent to the resource centre. As the applications for national lottery funding received in 2004 far exceeded the resources available, it was not possible to assist this organisation in 2004. The organisation was informed of this in January 2005 and advised that, if funding for this project is required in 2005, to apply for a grant from the 2005 national lottery allocation.

My Department forwarded an application form to the organisation on 8 June 2005.
