Two capital projects submitted by Ballina Town Council have been prioritised by Pobal under the RAPID Additionality Measure. The matter of progressing these projects to contract stage will be kept under active review in the light of availability of funding / levels of expenditure across my Department's Vote during 2011 and, if necessary, into 2012. In the event that a portion of the funding becomes available this year, it is proposed that it be made available to projects in an equitable way on the basis of priority, subject to recommendations from Pobal under agreed criteria. Any decisions arising will be notified to all applicants as soon as possible.
