Vol. 519 No. 3
155 Mr. Howlin asked the Minister for Finance if he will outline the total amount of Maritime INTERREG funding which was allocated for 1999 and 2000; the allocation on a county basis for these years; if he will provide details of the projects which have been aided; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13930/00]
The allocation of funds in the Ireland-Wales maritime programme is determined through three separate joint working groups involving representatives of several Government Departments, as well as members of the National Assembly for Wales and other relevant organisations, technical experts and other key local partners. As the information sought is contained across several Departments, I am not in a position to give an immediate reply. My Department, in its role as manager of the maritime programme, will, however, co-ordinate a reply and forward the information sought to the Deputy as soon as possible.
