Written Answers. - Departmental Schemes.

Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if an application for a grant was made by Bray Community Enterprise Ltd under the Community Enterprise Centre 2006 Scheme to assist in the establishment of an Enterprise Centre at Bray, County Wicklow; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21781/06]

  Mr. Martin: The administration of the Community Enterprise Centre (CEC) scheme is a day-to-day matter for Enterprise Ireland, and not one in which I am directly involved.

Enterprise Ireland advertised the 2006 CEC scheme in a public call for proposals in the national press on 19 and 20 January 2006. The closing date for receipt of applications was 27 April 2006. The Scheme is a competitive one and all applications are currently being assessed in accordance with criteria for the scheme.

I understand that there was no application under the 2006 scheme from a Community Group in Bray.
