The projects awarded funding were selected following a competitive assessment and evaluation process in which the strengths of each were assessed and ranked in line with the objectives of the scheme. Under EU state aid rules 2008 was the final year for making of awards under the Scheme and accordingly the allocations may not be revisited.
To date, payment of €766,161 has been provided to 4 projects. The period for completion of projects varies, it is anticipated hat the majority will be completed in 2010 and 2011.
