I cannot respond categorically to the Deputy, as my Department has not received an application for funding from the group in question. It is possible that the group might qualify for funding under the Programme of Grants for Locally based Voluntary and Community Organisations, which is operated by my Department. I should stress that until an application is received and can be assessed, I cannot be certain that the group would qualify for funding under this programme.

They may wish to consult my Departments website — www.pobail.ie — for further information or contact my Department's offices in Tubbercurry at telephone (071) 9186759, 9186761, 9186762, or 9186763.
