Under the coast protection measure of the National Development Plan 2000-2006, €52.01 million is identified for expenditure. Expenditure on this measure is not co-funded by the EU and is, accordingly, totally Exchequer-funded. Expenditure under this measure up to the end of 2004 was €32.2 million and €2.882 million is the amount of Exchequer funding made available in 2005 for the coast protection measure of the National Development Plan 2000-2006. The question of allocating additional funding for this measure this year does not arise.
