109 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the total allocations to Donegal County Council in each of the years from 1997 to date from his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4880/02]

My Department does not allocate funding to Donegal County Council from its annual voted provision. However, Donegal County County has benefited from grants provided by my Department under the fishery harbour infrastructure, coast protection and commercial harbours infrastructure programmes.

Grants made to Donegal County Council under these programmes in each of the years 1997 to 2001 are set out in the table below:

Ceist:

110 Cecilia Keaveney asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources the amount of money invested by his Department in Donegal which was in addition to the allocations to the county council in the years 1997 to date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4881/02]

The Deputy will be aware that Donegal County Council is a grant beneficiary under the fishery harbour infrastructure, coast protection and commercial harbours programmes administered by my Department and that I am providing the Deputy separately with details of the grant allocations to that county council under those programmes in the years 1997 to 2001.

Details of investment by my Department in Donegal in the years 1997 to 2001, other than that provided by means of grant aid to Donegal County Council, are set out in the table below. The nature of the investment involved does not, for the most part, lend itself to a breakdown by location.
