Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

The Lufthansa Technik Airmotive Ireland (LTAI) EGF programme closed on 19 September 2016 and the final report and statement of expenditure must be submitted to the European Commission by 19 March 2017.  Pending the receipt and processing of the various claims for expenditure under this programme, it is not possible to provide the final expenditure figure and the related balance of unused EU funding.  

The final reports on the Irish EGF programmes are published on the Department's dedicated website www.egf.ie. The LTAI EGF programme final report will similarly be published following its submission to  the European Commission.
