It has not been possible in the time available to identify the percentage of capital expenditure over the period July 1997 to November 2001 which relates to projects in County Wicklow. I have asked my officials to compile this information in so far as this is possible given the range of programmes and the number of agencies involved. I will arrange for this information to be supplied directly to the Deputy.
