David Stanton

Question:

75 Mr. Stanton asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the amount of money that was made available in 2000, 2001 and 2002 to combat coastal erosion; the way in which such moneys were spent; the amount of money that will be made available in 2003 for coastal protection works; his plans as to the way in which this money is to be expended; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8598/03]

The Exchequer allocation for coast protection works in 2000, 2001 and 2002 was €7,111,802.98, €6,467,000 and €4,000,000 respectively. In 2003, an Exchequer contribution of €1 million is available. The 2003 programme of works is attached together with a list of projects funded in the period 2000-2002 and the expenditure on each.
