A sum of £126.715 million is available for the years 1991, 1992 and 1993 from EC Structural Funds under the operational programme for tourism which runs from 1989 to 1993.
Approximately £26 million will be made available from public sources for the programme, including £19.694 million from the Exchequer, over the next three years, while a minimum of £103 million in matching funds will be provided by the private sector over the same period.
