Written Answers. - Ennis (Clare) Museum.
I have no specific funds available for assisting the establishment of county museums. However, projects relating to the establishment of such museums are eligible for consideration for funding under the cultural development incentives scheme administered by my Department which is part of the EU Structural Funds Tourism Operational Programme. Applications were invited by advertisement on 14 December 1994. The 3 February 1995, was the closing date for receipt of applications and I have not received any application under the incentives scheme relating to the establishment of a county museum in Ennis, County Clare.
