I propose to take Questions Nos. 625 and 626 together.

A Funding Scheme to Support National Organisations in the Community and Voluntary Sector was advertised in May, 2007 with a closing date of 22nd June, 2007 for receipt of applications. A large number of applications were received under this Scheme. Assessment of these applications is currently underway, with a view to having new funding arrangements in place before the cessation of the current funding at the end of November this year.

All applicants will be contacted once this assessment process is finalised.
