Martin Cullen

Question:

116 Mr. Cullen asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade the total funding drawn down in 1995 under the Community Support Framework and the breakdown by operational programme and sub-programme; the total amount of matching Exchequer funds provided by his Department and the breakdown by operational programme and sub-programme; the total amount provided by the private sector and the breakdown by operational programme and sub-programme; and the outturn he expects for 1995 under the above-listed criteria. [14628/95]

It is presumed that the Deputy's question relates to expenditure under the Operational Programme for Tourism, 1994-1999 for which my Department has overall responsibility.

The data provided below in relation to the 1995 programme expenditure is for the period 1 January to 30 June 1995, except in respect of EU drawdown amounts where the figures cover the period 1 January to date. These are the most up-to-date figures available for the entire programme. Under the Exchequer heading, the expenditure figures include the matching amounts provided from that source through all Departments involved in implementing the programme, including my own.
