I do not have details of the funding received as payments of EU aid in respect of these claims are made to the Department of Finance.
EU funding for national road development may also have been provided during this period under EU programmes in respect of which other bodies in Ireland have the lead management role under EU Regulations. These programmes include the Cohesion Fund, the Interreg Programme and the Peace Programme.
