My Department processed all eligible applications for support submitted in 2008 under the Scheme of Community Support for Older People, including an application submitted by the group referred to by the Deputy. I understand that the group in question submitted an application for funding for the installation of 62 monitored units, amounting to almost €18,000, on 15th April 2009. As with all other applications that were received after the suspension of the Scheme on 7th April 2009, this application was not processed but was returned directly to the applicant group. I have already informed the House that the suspension of the scheme has been lifted and I can confirm that my officials have informed the group that the applications can be resubmitted.
