The following table sets out the EU funding received by the Department for programmes and schemes administered by the Department and agencies under its remit as and from 1 January 1997. It should be noted that the receipts relate to the specific responsibilities that were under the Department's remit at the time received. The receipts are shown primarily on an activity related basis. It would require a substantial amount of work to translate each of these figures to a programme basis and the associated costs could not be justified.

The identification of records prior to January 1997 cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific item I will make appropriate enquiries.
