POBAL is the body tasked with administering the Dormant Accounts Funds on behalf of the Department of Health and Children. POBAL pays grants to approved beneficiaries out of advance funds received from the HSE, on the approval of my Department and the Department of Finance. I understand that the named Centre was approved for a total grant of €50,000. To date €29,300 has been paid to the Centre. The Centre recently applied for a further instalment of €7,777 from the Dormant Accounts Fund. I understand that POBAL paid €3,800 (49%) of that amount on the 5 November, 2008. It is anticipated that the balance of that instalment will be processed in due course.
