Ceist:170 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the amount of money which has been allocated and spent to date by his Department in each county under the National Development Plan. [26534/01]
Written Answers. - National Development Plan.
Public investment, excluding private contribution, of over £1 billion has been provided under the National Development Plan 2000-2006 in respect of the marine and natural resources sectors. This investment is spread across the two regional operational programmes, BMW and South and East, the three inter-regional or sectoral operational programmes, the rural development programme and the cross-Border initiatives. It is not possible at this time and within the time available to provide a breakdown on a county basis of expenditure to date by my Department under the NDP.
My Department, and other NDP implementing bodies, are at present rolling out the installation of an NDP computerised reporting system that will, among other matters, provide details of expenditure on a county basis. Much expenditure, such as that on marketing, training and RTDI, can only be attributed indicatively on a county basis. In addition, NDP allocations by county were not made in so far as the programmes administered by my Department are concerned. While the disaggregation by county of expenditure to date by the Department under the NDP cannot at present be provided I am providing, in the table below, details on a regional – BMW and South and East – basis of allocations and actual public expenditure to date under the plan.
