Olivia Mitchell

Question:

171 Ms O. Mitchell asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if the European Commission has confirmed whether the £19 million already spent on the planning and design of Luas continues to be eligible for Structural Fund assistance in view of the recent route and design changes. [16080/98]

The decision of the Community Support Framework Monitoring Committee on 25 June 1998 confirmed the eligibility for EU support of planning and design on the Luas project and allocated 15 million ECU — £12 million — in aid to this project.

This allocation is in respect of planning and design of the Tallaght to Abbey Street line which is expected to be the first line on which construction will commence. It will also cover part of the general costs of planning and design of the system.
