Vol. 556 No. 2

Written Answers. - River Robe Catchment Management Plan.

Michael Ring

Ceist:

77 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources if the funding which was allocated for the river Robe catchment management plan of ?130,000 was or was not withdrawn or reduced. [19585/02]

As I indicated to the Deputy in response to his question on 9 October 2002, I have recently received a request for €10,000, from the Western Regional Fisheries Board for works this year on the Robe river catchment management plan, on which I expect to make a decision shortly. The board, together with local stakeholders, will have the opportunity to submit an application for further funding on foot of any future call for projects under the tourism and recreational angling measure of the Border, midland and western regional operational programme of the National Development Plan 2000-2006. The amount of funding secured will depend on the evaluation and assessment of projects put forward compared to other competing projects and the general availability of resources under the measure for 2003 and subsequent years.
