Question:99 Mr. Moloney asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the total funding allocated each year from 1995 to 2001 by her Department for counties Laois and Offaly; and the major developments that began or major service improvements that were funded as a result of an increase in funding in each of these years. [4447/01]
Funding, as agreed by the Oireachtas, is provided by my Department to a number of delivery agencies and statutory offices which operate under the aegis of my Department to enable them carry out their statutory functions. With the exception of the county enterprise boards this funding is not allocated on a county basis and consequently the information sought by the Deputy is not available. In respect of the county enterprise boards for Laois and Offaly following are the details of the funding allocated from 1995 to 2001. This funding was used to promote micro-enterprises in Laois and Offaly.
