The details requested by the Deputy are outlined on the table below.

Capital funding allocated to my Department is expended through various agencies under the remit of my Department, including IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, Science Foundation Ireland, FÁS, Shannon Development, InterTradeIreland, the National Standards Authority of Ireland and the 35 County and City Enterprise Boards.

My Department does not centrally hold details of the amount of capital funding spent by the agencies on a county-by-county basis.

Notes:
(i) Due to the fact that the Department changed its financial management system in 2004, actual outturn figures for 1997 to 2003 are not readily available and thus the figures given above for those years reflect the provisional outturn as published in the Revised Estimates Volumes.
(ii) Figures for 2004 to 2008 inclusive reflect the outturn in the Department's accounts.
