In furtherance of the National Drugs Strategy 2009-2016, the Department of Health administers a Premises Initiative Fund which provides capital funding to assist community based drug projects with their accommodation needs. In relation to the West Cork area, applications for funding capital projects should be made through the Southern Regional Drugs Task Force which is responsible for co-ordinating the regional drugs strategy. A total of €1m was available for capital projects this year, but it is fully committed. Consequently, there is no further funding available for other capital projects this year.
