I propose to take Questions Nos. 126 and 128 together.
The following tables provide the total Horizon 2020 (EU) funding awarded to SMEs, by county, for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. These figures were previously provided in response to PQ 19542/18 and have been updated to include 2018 data up to November 2018.
The tables are based on the European Commission's most recent data release on Horizon 2020, which cover the period up to the 13th November 2018, and includes the number and value of grant agreements which were signed by Irish SMEs in each year.
It should be noted that the information requested is not collated by my Department - it is maintained and updated by the European Commission.
The Commission has recently upgraded the level of reporting available to the public regarding Horizon 2020, which is accessible at https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/dashboard/
