Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 12 July 2016
498. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Health the amount of pre-financing by programme his Department has applied for with regard to the current phase of EU funding programmes; the amount that is likely to be reimbursed to the European Commission; the reasons this money will be reimbursed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20581/16]
View answerMy Department has not applied for pre-financing with regard to the current phase of EU funding programmes.
As you may be aware there is a health theme within the INTERREG Cooperation Programme funded under the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF). I understand that the INTERREG Programme received pre-financing and that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, who is responsible for the ERDF programmes, has provided details of this to the Deputy.
