Investment under the national development plan in respect of the communications, energy, marine and natural resources sectors is spread across 43 measures under the two regional operational programmes, BMW and south and east, the three inter-regional or sectoral operational programmes, the rural development plan and the cross-Border initiatives.
It is not possible within the time available to provide details of the level of funding allocated to each county in the BMW region under the various NDP operational programmes. It is also the case that expenditure by my Department under the NDP, such as that on energy conservation, marketing, training and RTDI, could only be attributed indicatively on a county basis.
I will arrange for the detailed breakdown, in so far as this is available for the Departments NDP measures, to be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
