QUESTION NO. 15
QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward
To ask the Chief Executive to provide a report on the allocation of Community Initiative Fund in the Clondalkin LEA in 2016 and 2017 detailing the groups that were granted the fund and the amounts; the grounds that were not granted the amounts; the reasons why groups were unsuccessful."
REPLY:
The table below sets out the amount awarded under the Community Initiative Fund for groups in the Clondalkin LEA for 2016 and 2017 and the groups applying who were unsuccessful.
The Community Initiative Fund had a budget of €250,000 for 2016 and 2017. In 2016 69 applications were received and in 2017 53 applications were received and on both occassions the level of demand for funding hugely superseded the amount of funding available.
Individual group applications may have been unsuccessful for a varierty of reasons: being submitted after the funding deadline; application being incomplete, applications not meeting the grant criteria and then finally not being shortlisted or being a funding application that was prioritised and awarded funding by the Independent External Judging Panel based on the ground of the application assessment.
