Northern Ireland: Festivals

Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Rooker on 18 January (WA 116), why the Department for Social Development has not paid the grant of £34,150 to the Maiden City Festival held in August 2005; and when it proposes to make the payment.
Answer

Although funding was awarded to the Maiden City Festival in July 2005, the organisation subsequently requested in October 2005 that the project be revised. This process was completed on 20 December 2005. A payment of £34,150 was authorised on 24 January 2006 and is currently being processed. This payment should be in the Maiden City Festival’s bank account within 10 working days; that is, by 7 February 2006.
