I assume the Deputy is referring to the Ballymun Digital Community Project. This project is an innovative measure funded by my Department and implemented by DIT which provides IT access, learning/qualifications to disadvantaged communities. The Department has confirmed its support to fund this initiative for 2010, but has no plans to roll out the initiative to other areas at this juncture.
