She replied: "No grants for village enhancement and regeneration were awarded in the East Derry area in the last 3 years. This period fell between the closure of funding opportunities under the Rural Development Programme 2000 - 2006 and opening calls for funding applications under the current Rural Development Programme 2007 - 2013.
