My Department received an application for funding in 2007 on behalf of the community youth project in question under the Special Projects for Youth Scheme operated by the Youth Affairs Section. It was not possible to approve funding in this case due to the high level of existing commitments in the youth work sector and the large number of new applications received this year.

The financial resources available to me for 2007 have been committed and I am not in a position to make any future commitments at this time.
