I propose to take Questions Nos. 218 and 219 together.

The measures relevant to my Department in the 2000-2006 National Development Plan did not provide for or relate to individual projects. Instead, they comprised support schemes for the agri-food sector and related research. The table below sets out payments under the various schemes in County Wexford during the period.

In addition to the above payments, support provided under the National Development Plan for general measures such as agri-food research and cattle breeding infrastructures also benefited of the agri-food sector in County Wexford.
