Vol. 481 No. 1

Written Answers. - EU Funding.

Brendan Daly

Question:

89 Mr. Daly asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if the funding which was provided for a major coal handling facility at Moneypoint, County Clare, will be invested in a substitute project at the station in view of the board's decision not to proceed with the coal handling project. [15631/97]

The EU funding originally earmarked for this project was being provided as part of the EU's Operational Programme for Transport, in particular the seaports measure. This funding can only be used for transport related projects. As the ESB decided not to proceed with the project, the funding was reallocated within the transport operational programme.
