Minister for Environment, Climate and Communications

My Department has not directly granted any regional aid under the guidelines referenced.

In relation to the agencies under the aegis of my Department, the issuing of grants is an operational matter for each agency.  I have requested the bodies to reply directly to the Deputy with relevant information, if any, in respect of their organisation.
