QUESTION NO. 40

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government how he plans to engage with the NCCWN to resolve the difficulty that has arisen because that organisation created a national structure to meet the requirement of the Community Development programme which now precludes them from securing funding post 2014 under the new SICAP.  The Minister will be aware that NCCWN engaged with 35,580 marginalised women across 17 communities throughout Ireland in 2013 alone.

(NCCWN National Collective of Community based women's  networks)

(SICAP ‘Social  Inclusion and  Community Activation Programme)

REPLY:

If the question is passed the Members' sentiments will be conveyed to the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government, Mr. Alan Kelly T.D. and when a response is received the Council will be informed.
