Ceist:88 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Transport, Energy and Communications the total amount of EC funding allocated in the National Development Plan 1994-1999 to his Department for various projects.

Ceist:89 Mr. Nealon asked the Minister for Equality and Law Reform the total amount of EC funding allocated in the National Development Plan 1994-1999 to his Department for various projects.
No specific amount of EC funding was allocated to my Department in the National Development Plan, 1994-1999.
The aspects of the Plan which relate to my area of responsibility are included in Chapter 8 of the Plan which sets out proposals for the development of our human resources. My particular interest is concerned with the measures envisaged to assist severely disadvantaged groups, to promote gender-proofing and to facilitate the provisions of childcare facilities.
The framing of appropriate proposals, including the specification of the actual amounts to be expended in relation to such measures, is a matter for consideration by the relevant Ministers who are responsible for administering programmes under both the Community Support Framework and Community initiatives.
