The details requested are in the form of a tabular statement which I propose to circulate with the Official Report.
The amounts referred to in the tabular statement were received from the European Regional Development Fund. In accordance with long established practice, where Exchequer funded developments are being assisted from the Regional Fund, the Exchequer provides the necessary funds, including those to be recouped from the Regional Fund, in the usual way to the implementing agency and the Regional Fund receipts are then retained by the Exchequer in recoupment of the funds already advanced. Receipts in respect of developments funded from sources other than the Exchequer are paid direct by the European Commission to the source responsible for the implementation of the development.
All of the developments referred to in the tabular statement — with the exception of Connaught Regional Airport, Dublin Port and Docks and Cork Harbour — were funded by the Exchequer.
For roads other than forestry roads information is available on a project basis only for 1987 and to a limited degree for 1988. Even then, however, Commission payments frequently covered a series of projects. In such instances, it has not been possible to break down the amount received by project.
Under the national programme of Community interest for road development in Ireland, adopted by EC in December 1987, assistance was put on a programme basis. Hence the tables of aid received under this programme in 1988 and 1989 cannot be broken down by project but the projects assisted have been listed.
The Community Support Framework for Ireland which has been approved by the European Commission, provides for the payment of Regional Fund assistance amounting to 645 million ECUs, about £497 million, from 1990 to 1993 in respect of measures to offset the effects of peripherality such as roads, ports, airports and railways. The commitment for 1990 for developments of this nature is 131 million ECUs, about £100 million.
Following is the statement:
