I wish to advise the Deputy that the existing Programme for Peace and Reconciliation is drawing to a close over the next two years. Accordingly, it is expected that next year's funding demands for projects under this Programme will be significantly reduced. The AEV allocation to fund the Programme was considered in the context of the overall allocation for the Vote and, as with all spending programmes, expenditure will be kept under review by my Department during 2007.

I can assure the Deputy that spending commitments certified in 2007 for projects arising under the Programme will be honoured.
