Proposals have been received from all nine National Spatial Strategy gateways for funding under the competitive €300 million Gateway Innovation Fund (GIF); these proposals sought some €720 million in total funding under the GIF.
Following an examination and prioritisation of capital funding programmes by the Government as part of the estimates process, my Department's estimates do not include funding for the GIF in 2009. Final decisions on projects to be supported under the Fund are not, therefore, envisaged for the present.
