Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department’s capital estimate for 2015 is €93.6 million. While this funding is not specifically allocated at county level, it does include a sum of €3.85m for multimedia development projects in the Digital Hub Development Agency and the National Digital Research Council, both of which are Dublin-based projects. The most significant component of my Department's capital funding are the energy programmes administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. The funding allocated under the various schemes in 2015 is over €52m million.
The trading online voucher scheme, which is administered by my Department, supports qualifying small businesses to develop their trading online capability with a financial incentive coupled with mentoring support from the Local Enterprise Office.
A full breakdown of the allocated funding for all schemes operated by, or on behalf of, my Department is set out in tabular format below.
