The radio station in question sought funding under the Community Services Programme operated by my Department.

It is likely that a decision on the application will be notified to the group by the end of October.

Under the 2006 round of Dormant Accounts Funding, €24 million has been earmarked for programmes and projects dealing with social and economic disadvantage. One of the measures in this category provides for funding of up to €3 million for Projects Supporting Initiatives for Older People.

Applications received for this funding measure are currently being processed, including one received from the organisation in question. It is anticipated that this process will be completed shortly and that decisions will be made by Government, in accordance with the legislation, over the coming weeks.
