Section 4: Applicant Declaration

I declare that I have the authority to represent [Name of Organisation] in making this application for funding under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund 2014 - 2020 (AMIF) to Integration Service Delivery Unit of the Department of Justice and Equality.

On behalf of the applicant organisation named at 1.1 above, I the undersigned, apply for AMIF funding to the value stated at 3.1.1 above for the project described in this application and declare that all the information given in this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I acknowledge that any funds awarded must be used only for the purpose stated and I acknowledge the right of the Department of Justice and Equality to seek the recovery of any funds that are not used for the purpose stated and in compliance with the grant agreement.

I also understand that information supplied in/or accompanying this application may be made available to Third Parties on request under the Freedom of Information Act 2014.

I confirm to the Department that I have informed all persons about whom I have provided personal information in this application of the details provided and the purposes for which this is to be used. I have the consent of the individuals to pass this information to the Department for these purposes.

I will inform the Department if, prior to AMIF funds being committed to the applicant organisation, I become aware of further information which may reasonably be considered as material to the Department in deciding whether to fund the application.

I, the undersigned, certify on my honour that the applicant organisation is not in one of the circumstances listed below which would exclude it from taking part in a Community grant programme, and I accordingly declare that the organisation:

14




- is not bankrupt or being wound up, is not having its affairs administered by the courts, has not entered into an arrangement with creditors or suspended business activities, and is not in any analogous situation arising from a similar procedure provided for in national legislation or regulations;

- has not been convicted of an offence concerning its professional conduct by a judgment which has the force of res judicata;

- has met its obligations relating to the payment of social security contributions or taxes under the legislation of the country in which it is established or with those of the country of the putative contracting authority or those of the country where the contract is to be performed;

- has not been the subject of a judgment which has the force of res judicata for fraud, corruption, involvement in a criminal organisation or any other illegal activity detrimental to the Community’s financial interests;

- is not currently subject to an administrative penalty;- has not been declared to be in serious breach of contract for failure to

comply with its contractual obligations subsequent to another procurement procedure or grant award procedure financed by the Community budget.

I have been informed that, under the Financial Regulation of 25 October 20121 as last amended by Council Regulation No. 2015/1929 of 28 October 2015 2, applicable to the general budget of the European Communities, contracts may not be awarded to candidates who, during the procedure:

- are subject to a conflict of interest;- are guilty of seriously misrepresenting the information required by the

contracting authority as a condition of participation in the contract procedure or fail to supply this information.

I also accept, as a condition of the award of a grant, that it involves no commitment to any other grants under the AMIF or from the Department of Justice and Equality.

Each successful organisation will be required to sign a Grant Agreement with the Department of Justice and Equality setting out the terms and conditions of the grant.

Under section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Act, 2014, the Department of Justice and Equality has a positive legal duty to have regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, promote equality and protect the human rights of staff and persons to whom services are provided. In accordance with this duty, the Department requires that the Grantee, in carrying out the project that is the subject of the Grant Agreement, have regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, promote equality and protect the human rights of staff and persons to whom services are provided. A condition in the Grant Agreement will reflect this requirement.

The applicant organisation is agreeable to have the project monitored by the Integration Service Delivery Unit of the Department of Justice and Equality, the AMIF Responsible Authority3, the AMIF Audit Authority4 and the EU auditors and to allow access to its premises and records, as necessary, for that purpose.
