Amounts received as appropriations-in-aid in respect of EU programmes directly under my Department's remit for the period since its establishment in June 2002 to end-2007 are set out in the Appropriation Accounts for the years in question. For the Deputy's convenience, the relevant amounts are included in Table 1, as well as amounts received in 2008 to date.

With regard to Údarás na Gaeltachta, the amounts of EU funding received for the period 2002-07, which have been communicated to my Department by an tÚdarás, are set out in Table 2. With regard to 2008, I understand from an tÚdarás that EU funding in excess of €1 million has been received this year to date.
