Written Answers. - EU Structural Funds.

Ivor Callely

Ceist:

70 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the type of project that may qualify for some of the £58 million available for heritage tourism projects under the EU structural funds in his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15834/95]

The Deputy is referring to Structural Funding under the EU Operational Programme for Tourism, 1994-1999. Under that programme, I have allocated £57.85 million (which is the total amount available to me) for expenditure on projects relating to the physical heritage in State ownership which have a tourism benefit. The expenditure is broken down by category as follows: National Monuments and Historic Properties, £28.55 million; National Parks and Nature Reserves, £6.65 million; Inland Waterways, £22.65 million.
