Of the Department's programmes and schemes, there is only one that is currently part funded by the European Union (EU), namely, the Tourism Theme of the INTERREG IVA Programme. This is the Cross-Border Territorial Co-operation Programme for Northern Ireland, the Border Region and Western Scotland, and its overall aim is to support strategic cross-border co-operation for a more prosperous and sustainable region. For 2009 an amount of €58,275 has been allocated by the EU towards the Tourism Scheme of INTERREG IVA. This is supplemented by an amount of €19,425 from the Exchequer.
