Written Answers. - Marine Development Funding.

Bernard Allen

Question:

91 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Marine if he will outline (1) the moneys which will be made available to Ireland from EC Structural Funds in the years 1991, 1992 and 1993 for marine development and (2) the matching funds which will be made available by the Government in this period.

It is not possible to anticipate EC disbursements in individual years with any degree of precision, as these have to be approved on an individual or programme basis from time to time by the Commission.

The following figures are being used as estimates for planning purposes.
