The organisation in question is funded by my Department under the White Paper funding scheme for Federations and Networks. Funding totalling €198,000 is provided over the period 2003 to 2006.

The funding provision under the White Paper schemes expires at the end of November, 2006. A review of the effectiveness of the current spend under the White Paper is in progress in my Department and it is anticipated that following this review, a new scheme will be advertised in the coming months. It will be open to the organisation in question to apply for further funding at that stage.
