I assume that the Deputy is referring to Mulranny Western Holdings from which group an application has been received under the 2005 programme of grants for locally-based community and voluntary organisations.

Each application received under the scheme was assessed by Pobal on behalf of my Department by reference to the criteria set out in the published guidelines, and scored accordingly. The application from the organisation in question failed to achieve a sufficiently high score to enable it to be considered for funding on this occasion. It is open to the applicant organisation to have the decision reviewed by applying in writing to the Department as advised in the notification letter which issued to the organisation recently.
