Vol. 477 No. 1

Written Answers. - Fisheries Operational Programme.

Cecilia Keaveney

Ceist:

239 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Marine the current position in relation to the review of the fisheries operational programme and the possibility of increasing the allocations of funding substantially above the current levels of circa £1.5 million per year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8466/97]

There is a total of some £79 million in public funding, EU and national available for the term of the Operational Programme for Fisheries 1994-9. The allocation for 1997 is approximately £18 million.

I will seek to obtain additional funding for the programme in the context of the mid-term review of the CSF for Ireland. The process involved in the review was outlined to the Deputy in my reply to her on Tuesday, 11 March 1997.
