Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 May 2013
146. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if Fingal County Council has applied for EU INTERREG funding, through his Department, for environment and heat management funding in the Howth Peninsula special amenity area. [22045/13]
View answerThe EU INTERREG programme 2007-2013 is comprised of three strands: Strand A, which covers cross-border co-operation; Strand B, which covers transnational co-operation and Strand C, which covers interregional cooperation. Each Strand has its own priorities and covers specific geographic regions. Applications for funding under all strands of the INTERREG Programme are made directly to the relevant Programme Managing Authority. The relevant Managing Authorities are the Special EU Programmes Body and the BMW and S&E Regional Assemblies.
My Department does not have any direct involvement in relation to applications for funding under the INTERREG Programme and consequently does not have the information sought.
