Further to my answer to the Deputy's Questions Nos. 273 and 274 of 9 November 2005, the moneys received under the Trans-European Transport Networks, TEN-T, programme are set out in the following table, broken down by year and by project.
The TEN-T receipts on the N8 Cashel bypass project relate to the south-east region and the receipts on the N1 Dundalk to Border with Northern Ireland project relate to the Border region.
As regards the other five TEN-T projects listed in the attached table that are not specific to a NUTS 3 region, it is not possible to give a breakdown of the receipts at NUTS 3 level. This is because the grant approved by the Commission is approved for a project as a whole and is not broken down on a section by section basis, so it is not possible to say how much of the TEN-T grants paid by the Commission relate to a specific NUTS 3 region.
