Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 11 October 2012
118. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Minister for Communications; Energy and Natural Resources if he will outline in tabular form, the amount of money allocated by his Department and agencies within his Department to Ballina, Castlebar and Westport Town Council between 1997 and 2012; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43943/12]
View answerI wish to advise the Deputy that since the establishment of my Department in June 2007, it has not allocated any money to Ballina, Castlebar or Westport Town Council. In relation to payments made by the State Agencies under the aegis of my Department, this is an operational matter for the individual agency in the first instance and I have no function in this regard. I am asking the Agencies concerned to respond directly to the Deputy.
