The group in question applied for assistance from the Dormant Accounts Fund under the measure providing supports for ICT (Information and Communications Technology) Initiatives for Disadvantage Young People. The intention of this funding is to provide greater access to ICT and to promote ICT skills development among disadvantaged young people.

The proposal from the group in question did not score high enough to warrant a funding recommendation. The group was advised on 31st January of the outcome and of their right to seek a review of the decision. A request for a review was received on 22nd February and this is currently being processed. The group will be notified of the outcome of the review in due course.
