The information requested by the Deputy is provided in the table below. Funding is provided to support initiatives which are overseen by the North East Inner City Oversight Committee, chaired by the Department of An Taoiseach. 

The North East Inner City Initiative (NEIC) commenced in 2016.  No RAPID funding was provided for the initiative in 2016, however separate funding was provided by the then Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government from the SICAP/Local and Regional Development Supports Subhead for which my Department now has responsibility. 

Since the establishment of the Department of Rural and Community Development in July 2017 funding for the NEIC Initiative was provided from the RAPID Subhead in 2017 and 2018.  From 2019,  this Subhead will be renamed as Supports for Disadvantaged Communities.
