Community Development Projects
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-09
============================================================

Paul Donnelly (SF), Dublin West

I welcome that 600 projects have been completed or are at completion stage. Previously, I raised with the Minister the matter of some centres that had encountered unexpected difficulties, so an opportunity for them to continue accessing the fund is important.
When the fund was originally proposed, applications amounted to approximately €70 million. While funding has already been allocated and is going through to projects well, other projects worth another €30 million or €40 million still need to be done. I am referring to the projects that did not get into this round. In the upcoming budgetary process, will there be a new round of funding?
