Written answers

As the Deputy is aware, the PEACE and INTERREG Programmes have made a real and visible contribution towards supporting peace and reconciliation and promoting economic and social cohesion in Northern Ireland and the border counties of Ireland for more that two decades. The programme are managed  by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), a North South Implementation Body established under the Good Friday Agreement.

The table sets out the funding made available to projects by year under the PEACE II, III and IV programmes. A breakdown by year is not available for the 1995-1999 PEACE I programme which predated SEUPB's establishment. The data is not available by county as the majority of projects are programme or service based and would typically have activity and beneficiaries on a regional basis.

* Note re funding amounts:

Where both currencies are provided, they represent equivalent amounts and not separate amounts of funding.  PEACE I funding amounts are only available in sterling and PEACE IV funding amounts are only available in euro.
