Question 202: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if there are grants available to Gaeltacht areas from his Department to help fund the installation of a defibrillator for their community; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20185/08]

As the Deputy will be aware, my Department does not operate a scheme or programme that specifically provides support to communities for the installation of defibrillators in Gaeltacht areas. However, I am currently in consultation with the HSE with a view to examining ways of providing this equipment at appropriate locations. In relation to the specific query from the Deputy, I can confirm that some funding may be available to support an element of the service that the Deputy refers to under the Programme of Grants for Locally Based Community and Voluntary Organisations or the CLÁR Programme, which my Department operates.
The Deputy will also be aware that the Islands Division of my Department makes funding available to community groups and charitable organisations for projects that are supportive of our island communities, both Gaeltacht and non-Gaeltacht and some funding may also be available for the purposes that the Deputy refers to from this area of my Department. Details in relation to all the programmes and schemes operated by my Department, including eligibility criteria can be accessed on my Department's website at www.pobail.ie.
