My Department with the support of Pobal, has overall responsibility for the co-ordination of the RAPID programme. It is a matter for each Department to report on progress and spends on RAPID projects that fall to them to implement.
My Department implements the RAPID Leverage Funds, initiated in 2004. To date in 2006 my Department has directly processed grant claims to the sum of €1,472,854.31. The following is the breakdown on a county basis.
€ | |
Carlow | 21,000.00 |
Clare | 22,500.00 |
Cork | 298,030.24 |
Dublin | 120,072.60 |
Galway | 317,957.00 |
