6153I propose to take Questions Nos. 337 and 338 together.

A Community Enterprise Development Programme has been established for the maintenance or establishment of a strong business development function in the Community Enterprise Centres funded by Enterprise Ireland. The Programme is now underway with the first call for proposals closing on 9 April 2012. The preliminary stage of evaluation was undertaken on 17 April and the next stage of the process is to submit the evaluation panel's recommendations to the Enterprise Ireland Investment Committee on 11 May. Following the Investment Committee's deliberations, the Board of Enterprise Ireland will be advised on 13 June and the outcome of the Board's approvals will be formally announced subsequently.
