Vol. 485 No. 3
51 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Defence the funds, if any, his Department or agencies under its aegis are receiving from the Community Support Framework of the EU; if so, the steps, if any, he is taking to ensure that the private sector are allowed to participate in tendering for grants under the operational programme on the basis of criteria set down in advance as agreed as part of the mid-term review of the Community Support Framework. [22700/97]
76 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Defence if his Department has received money under the Community Support Framework; the underspendings, if any, there have been of allocated funds under the Community Support Framework in the areas for which his Department is responsible; if a report giving details of the reasons for under spending has been prepared for the monitoring committee; and, if so, if he will publish this report. [22739/97]
I propose to take Question Nos. 51 and 76 together.
No money has been received under the EU Community Support Framework by my Department or bodies under its aegis.
