My Department has previously provided this centre with a grant towards capital works of €177,763.

I understand that an application under the ACCESS II scheme was received in respect of the project in question. I cannot comment on the application at present as an independent selection committee is currently assessing the applications received under ACCESS II. The Committee expect to provide me with recommendations by March 2007 and I hope to make an announcement regarding the scheme shortly thereafter.
