The project referred to by the Deputy is a drug awareness project that receives annual funding from my Department under the National Drugs Strategy. The allocation for 2008 is nearly €190,000. I understand that the project has also made an application for funding under the Drugs Task Force Premises Initiative Fund, which addresses the accommodation needs of community-based drugs projects. However, as I expect the financial provision for the Fund for this year to be fully expended, I am not in a position to approve any new proposals at present.
