I propose to take Questions Nos. 48 and 49 together. Ireland's receipts to date from each of the EC Structural Funds are shown in the table which is being circulated in the Official Report. As regards receipts from the Structural Funds in the Leinster Euro-Constituency, I regret that records are not maintained in a format which would enable the material requested by the Deputy to be provided.
Ireland's Receipts from the EC Structural Funds.
