Vol. 475 No. 5

Written Answers - Grant Payments.

Michael Finucane

Question:

204 Mr. Finucane asked the Minister for the Marine the amount of grant-aid provided by his Department or agencies under the aegis of his Department to marine and coastal projects in County Wexford in 1995 and 1996; if he will give details of the projects; and the expenditure projected for 1997. [5384/97]

The information requested by the Deputy is in the following schedule. As many projects are also EU aided, I have included information on EU grants also.

Information in respect of 1997 is provisional; actual expenditures will be clarified later in the year across all programmes.
