Question:
To ask the First Minister and deputy First Minister, pursuant to AQW 40568/11-15, to detail the Area Plan projects that were informed by the Steering Group within the Social Investment Fund Northern Zone that their applications had not been successful.

Answer:

In November 2013, the Northern Zone’s Steering Group deemed 97 concepts ineligible for SIF support and it was the responsibility of the Steering Group Chairs to inform those involved of the decisions. The remaining 10 projects were prioritised and of these six projects will be funded within the Zone’s £9million funding allocation. Details of these are available on the OFMDFM website. The ineligible Area Plan projects comprised 64 capital and 33 revenue concepts and details of each have been placed in the Assembly Library.
