Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 September 2012
558. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if he will provide in tabular form the budget for each county and city enterprise board, the budget in 2012; if funding has changed since the budget; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37385/12]
View answerBudget 2012 contains details of the overall funding available to my Department which is not broken down on an individual County and City Enterprise Board (CEB) basis. There has been no change to this figure since the Budget. In Budget 2012, the CEBs received an Exchequer Capital Allocation of €15 million towards the provision of grants and soft supports to the micro-enterprise sector. Individual CEB Capital Allocations were then made by the CEB Central Coordination Unit (CCU) based within Enterprise Ireland early in the first quarter of 2012 in line with established allocation criteria.
In determining the allocations to individual CEBs a systematic approach is adopted by the CCU to ensure the maximum degree of objectivity and equity of treatment. This approach involves the provision of funding on the basis of a standard allocation to each CEB as well as an extra allocation that is determined mainly by population but which also takes account of issues such as local unemployment trends, capacity to spend, existing commitments and regional spread.
As in previous years, should additional funding be required and become available from savings elsewhere in the Department, full consideration will be given to making extra Capital funding available to the CEBs during the course of the year. Individual Budget Allocations requested by the Deputy are set out in tabular format below.
