I propose to take Questions Nos. 146 and 148 together.

A substantial number of applications has been received by my Department over the last few weeks under the 2006 Programme of Grants for Locally-Based Community and Voluntary Organisations. They are being assessed. Decisions in respect of all applications will be made by me following this assessment process. It is not possible at this early stage to indicate when a decision can be made on an individual application or what that decision will be, but each applicant Group will be informed of progress on their application as soon as possible.
