As the Deputy will be aware my Department administers and delivers a wide range of programmes and measures. The Deputy will also be aware that expenditure under 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.

In view of the significant resources that would be required to provide the Deputy with the details he has requested, I am not in a position to provide this information to the Deputy. However, I can assure the Deputy that each application is assessed on its merits and in accordance with the eligibility and assessment criteria for each funding stream.

If the Deputy would like information in relation to a particular application and/or a particular scheme, I would be glad to arrange to have this provided to him.
