I propose to take Questions Nos. 288 and 289 together.

Details of funding provided for projects or programmes in Counties Galway and Roscommon by my Department in the years 2016 to date in 2019 are outlined in the following table.

**Digital Skills for Citizens Scheme funding is directly linked to the number of citizens who received training. Since the scheme commenced in 2017, some 2,067 citizens in Galway and 2,387 citizens in Roscommon have received training.

In relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department, this is an operational matter for each agency. The Department will request the relevant bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with the information requested in respect of their organisations.
