The European Commission approved the Regional Aid Map for Ireland 2007–2013 on 24th October 2006. The level of regional aid available to companies in the Southern and Eastern region generally, and more specifically the South-East area, from 1 January 2008, is outlined in the following Table. The rates for 2008 remain unchanged from those applicable in 2007.

While the Greater Dublin area does not qualify for regional aid it continues to qualify for other forms of State aid, including SME aid, aid for Research and Development, and Training aid, which are available to all areas, including the areas referred to by the Deputy.
