The proposal from Co. Westmeath VEC to which the Deputy refers was considered by officials of my Department and funding was not approved. The decision was upheld on appeal, and my Department wrote to the CEO of the VEC on 26 May 2008 advising him of the position. The decision was again confirmed at a meeting between officials of my Department and the CEO on 23 July 2008.
