Bruton asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Gaeltacht and the Islands the funds, if any, her Department or agencies under its aegis are receiving from the community support framework of the EU; and if so, the steps, if any, she is taking to ensure that the private sector is 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.
