Details of the funding available to each County and City Enterprise Board for the past five years and the allocations made available to the Boards in 2009 are as follows.
The CEBs will use their 2009 funding to assist existing micro-enterprises in the survival and growth of their businesses, to assist new start-ups to the greatest extent possible and to continue to focus on the promotion and stimulation of entrepreneurship at local level. Support to the micro-enterprise sector will be provided through both direct grant aid and through the provision of business advice and mentoring and the delivery of management capability training programmes aimed at improving the skills of owner managers so as to assist the survival rate amongst micro businesses and to facilitate their future growth.
The allocation of individual budgets to the thirty-five County and City Enterprise Boards is carried out by the CEB Central Coordination Unit (CCU), which has been set up within Enterprise Ireland to carry out a number of functions in respect of the CEBs, which have been previously undertaken by this Department. In determining the 2009 allocations for individual CEBs the CCU adopted a systematic approach to ensure the maximum degree of objectivity and equity of treatment. It is a matter for individual CEBs to determine how they will use allocated funds in the most effective manner possible (subject to meeting appropriate eligibility criteria and a number of limits and thresholds that are in place).
It is a basic expectation of boards that they will manage the delivery of their support Programmes on the basis of their allocated amount over the year as a whole. As with all State-funded assistance CEBs are expected to prioritise and manage available funding in a targeted and effective manner.
