Written Answers. - Community Development.

Deputy Joe Costello Deputy Joe Costello

Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the community development programmes in County Donegal; the funding provided to each group over each of the past three years; the number employed in each project; if cutbacks are proposed in 2009 in each group; if so, the number of placements lost; the projected funding for each group in 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23848/09]

Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív

Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív:Following the recent supplementary budget, the current funding of €20.9m available for the Community Development Programme is less that in recent years. This has resulted in a reduction across the board to Community Development Projects of approximately 12% on 2008 levels and projects have been so informed.

In the context of a reduced budget allocation, all projects have been advised that front-line services and support to customers/beneficiaries should be prioritised over administration, overheads and ancillary costs.
