The 2009 inclusion allocation for the Department currently amounts to less than €1m. Of this, the legacy commitments from the 2008 Benefit scheme and other related commitments will require approximately €517,000. I am keenly aware of the important contribution that the inclusion grant schemes have been making to progressing our national inclusion objectives. I will determine the feasibility of launching a further scheme later this year — although clearly it would not be of the same scale as the previous scheme.
