I assume that the Deputy is referring to funding from the Dormant Accounts.

POBAL is the body charged with administering the Dormant Accounts funds on behalf of the Department of Health and Children. POBAL pays grants to approved beneficiaries from funds advanced from the HSE, on the approval of my Department.

My Department has made enquiries with POBAL regarding East Kerry Mental Health. I understand that the association named is awaiting a final payment of €2,000 from the Dormant Accounts Fund. It is expected that payment will be made to the association in the coming weeks.
