Enda Kenny
Question:354 Deputy Enda Kenny asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in July 2009, the east west electricity interconnector was allocated approximately €110 million from Part A of a programme (details supplied) and that Ireland received none of the €1.6 billion funding decided for Parts B and C of that programme; if Ireland applied for any of these funds despite possessing strong wind resources and being over target on emissions; if so, the reason funding was not granted from this programme; if Ireland will apply for funding form the EU’s €4 billion new entrants’ reserve fund, which is also for carbon capture and storage as well as renewable energy projects; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
