The gross expenditure allocation for my Department in 2005 was €354.504 million. Details of the allocations to individual programme areas are included in the Revised Estimates Volume 2005, which was published earlier in the year and which can broadly be broken down as follows:

Expenditure within these programme areas takes place across a wide range of schemes and projects countrywide, descriptions of which are available on my Department's website at www.pobail.ie. It is not possible to give a county by county breakdown as many schemes operate across county boundaries. It is the practice of both my colleague, the Minister of State at the Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Noel Ahern, and myself to make details of all announcements relating to grant approvals and other expenditure-related decisions under these programmes available on the Department's website. If the Deputy would like information on a particular scheme, I would be glad to provide details to him.
