My Department's involvement with voluntary and co-operative housing schemes relates primarily to the provision of funds for individual projects. The detailed administration of the schemes, and the certification that projects comply with the relevant terms and conditions, are the responsibility of the local authority. An outline proposal by Respond Housing Association for the development of 21 units of accommodation for elderly persons on Aranmore Island under the Capital Assistance Scheme was submitted to my Department by Donegal County Council in February 2004. However, no subsequent application for funding in respect of the construction stage of this project has been received from the Council.
