The Youth Affairs Section of my Department has received an application for funding from the Donegal Community Youth Project on behalf of a consortium of six youth and community projects located across Co. Donegal. This application was submitted for consideration in the 2007 round of grants under the Special Projects for Youth Scheme.

Funding allocations for 2007 are currently being examined by my Department and consideration will be given to this application in light of available financial resources, existing commitments and other applications for funding. having regard to the overall provision for the youth sector.
