Michael Ferris

Question:

201 Mr. Ferris asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the proposals, if any, she has to fund in full the excel project in Tipperary town; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [15659/97]

: A grant to an absolute maximum sum of £650,000 has been offered, in principle, to the promoters of the Tipperary excel project under the cultural development incentives scheme, which my Department is administering as part of the EU Operational Programme for Tourism 1994-99. No additional funds are available at this time to further support this project, which is estimated to cost some of £2.78 million. The promoters have been made aware of this position.
