In May of this year my Department publically advertised the enhancing disability services, EDS, project fund. By the closing date for receipt of funding applications, 134 project proposals had been submitted.

All of the applications were acknowledged by my Department and forwarded to Area Development Management Limited for independent assessment and appraisal. Area Development Management will shortly complete its assessment of the proposals and will then be in a position to submit its recommendations to my Department. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their project proposals by the beginning of November.

As such, I am not currently in a position to comment on individual applications for funding made under the EDS project fund.
