The Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources was established in June 2007. To assist the Deputy, the following table sets out the EU funding received by the Department and predecessor Departments for programmes and schemes under its remit as and from 1 January 1997. It should be noted that the receipts relate to the specific responsibilities that were under the Department's remit at the time received. The receipts are shown primarily on an activity related basis.

The identification of records prior to January 1997 cannot be facilitated without undue commitment of staff resources and administrative cost. However, if the Deputy has a question in relation to a specific item I will make appropriate enquiries.
