These figures represent the Exchequer funding made available to city and county enterprise boards, CEBs, in the periods concerned. However, actual spending by boards may vary somewhat where boards have other sources of funding, such as course fees or repayments of refundable grants or where the pattern of drawdown of funding is slower than expected. In a number of instances, the additional funding made available to boards in 2003 met commitments in respect of enterprise centres.
I remain strongly committed to the support and development of indigenous enterprise, including micro-enterprise, and I am confident that the CEBs will continue to be in a position to provide an appropriate level of assistance to good quality projects that present over the coming year.
