The detailed information sought in the question is not readily available and its compilation would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work.

Some €3.1 billion is provided in my Department's estimate for 2008, which will be disbursed over 36 expenditure subheads. From this provision, my Department funds and supports a wide range of schemes and projects undertaken directly and through local authorities and other bodies. These schemes and projects cover such areas as housing, social inclusion, community and cultural development services, water services, environmental services, natural and built heritage services.
