Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

12:35 pm

Mr. Jim Deane:

It cannot be seen in the documentation relating to the MFF. I believe the Deputy may be referring to the cohesion legislative package, through which five funds are dealt with. Under the regulations which govern the ERDF, 5% of a member state's allocation must be devoted to sustainable urban development activities or operations. It is in this context that ERDF moneys could be used to support initiatives such as those to which the Deputy refers.
