View answerMy Department administers a grant scheme to assist the regional airports with marketing, safety and security related current expenditure. The total amount provisionally allocated in the Estimates for 2004 is €2.24 million and the individual amounts for each airport will be determined shortly. The grants are paid to the airports on foot of certified claims of eligible expenditure incurred during the year so drawdown of grants by the regional airports would not arise until later in the year.
