asked the Minister for Industry, Trade, Commerce and Tourism the amounts of money allocated to the IDA for payments of capital grants in 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983 and 1984; and if he will give a monthly breakdown of the amounts actually paid by the IDA in the form of capital grants for each of the years in question.

The grant-in-aid to the Industrial Development Authority for the payment of capital grants for each of the years 1980 to 1984 was as follows:

|
1982 |
134.00 |

1983 |
121.63 |

1984 |

I am informed that a monthly breakdown of capital grant payments by IDA is not readily available. However, I am asking the IDA to have this information compiled and I will communicate with the Deputy at a later date on this matter.
