The detailed information being requested is a day-to-day operational matter for Mayo County Enterprise Board. While my Department would, as part of an overall financial monitoring exercise in relation to all 35 County Enterprise Boards, request information on a regular basis in relation to spending patterns and projected grant drawdowns the level of detail being requested, in this instance, by the Deputy would not ordinarily form part of our request to a County Enterprise Board.

However the Deputy may wish to note that the 2005 Annual Report of Mayo County Enterprise Board contains information on the grants paid out in 2005 including the amount in question, the name of the grant recipient and the sector in which the grantee operates. This Annual Report has been laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and should be available from the Oireachtas library. I have asked Mayo County Enterprise Board to contact the Deputy directly in relation to his queries in respect of the current year.
