Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I thank the Minister for the information. Perhaps he might come back to me later, if not today, as regards the following. If they are to be used for micro businesses, surely the county enterprise boards are obvious bodies for administering these funds. Will the Minister indicate, either today or later, the level of funding it is intended to allocate during the programme in the period 2007-13? What differential will there be between the two regions that constitute the country in terms of access to Structural Funds?
