QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

DO603 Why is the Social Inclusion Budget Cut so Drastically?

REPLY:

Division D D063 - Social Inclusion is reduced from €493,900 in 2012 to €179,800  in 2013 mainly due to the financial cuts for the two Community Safety Fora in Clondalkin and the two Estate Management projects in Tallaght. In 2012 there was a provision of €200,000 whilst there is no provision made in 2013 due to the Department of the Environment Community and Local Government funding cuts. The money was channelled through the Council to the Projects.
