147 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if his Department has received an application from Cork County Council regarding the allocation of funding to carry out improvement works to Fota Road, Cobh, County Cork; the amount involved; his views and decision on the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10398/99]
Cork County Council submitted 27 applications to my Department for consideration under the EU co-financed scheme of grants in 1999. These applications included an application for funding of £145,000 for the R624 Cobh Road. This application, together with all other applications under the EU co-financed scheme was considered in my Department, having regard to compliance with EU eligibility criteria, the need to prioritise projects, competing demands from other local authorities and the funds available for the scheme in 1999.
In the event this project was not among Cork County Council's seven projects selected for funding totalling £2,470,000 in 1999 under this scheme.
