Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 February 2010
564 Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the funding and development options for an environmentally friendly cross-Border project (details supplied); his views that this project has commercial potential in view of the fact of its proximity to the fourth largest city here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI am advised that this proposal, while interesting, is not one that is normally eligible for funding by my Department. Funding is provided for projects under Interreg IV and the Peace and Reconciliation programme subject to projects meeting the criteria of the programmes. The programmes are managed by the Special EU Programmes Body. Its website, www.seupb.org, gives its contact details along with information on programmes and eligibility.
