The organisation to which the Deputy refers was one of 22 groups who received monies from a special integration initiative introduced in 2006. This provided for seed-funding in relation to integration initiatives for legally-resident immigrants and comes to an end in February /March 2008 after which the programme will be reviewed. As made clear in the official guidelines for this special fund, support was provided on a once-off basis.
