This association made an application under the suicide prevention measure initiative which is funded under the Economic and Social Disadvantage category of the Dormant Accounts Fund. Funding decisions are made by Government on the basis of recommendations made by the Economic and Social Disadvantage Interdepartmental Committee, which is chaired by my colleague, the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.

The Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, through POBAL, invited applications for funding under the suicide measure.

My Department made recommendations in relation to the applications. However, these applications have not yet been submitted to Government for approval.
