My Department approved €2,800 under the Environment Fund for Biodiversity Awareness 2010 to the Abbeyleix Bog Group in County Laois. Payment in 2010 was subject to the grant being drawn down by the end of November 2010. The paperwork to process payment was not received from the Abbeyleix Bog Group until 5 January 2011, and, accordingly, payment of this grant could not be met in 2010.

However I can confirm that the grant will be paid shortly.
