Enterprise Ireland has made financial payments of €164.705m directly to its client companies between 1st October 2008 and 30th September 2009. This direct support to businesses does not include payments made by Enterprise Ireland to businesses under supports such as Venture Capital Funding; Infrastructural Payments, for example, Community Enterprise Centres; Funding to Third Level Institutions and other third parties such as City & County Enterprise Boards. In the same period, IDA Ireland paid a total of €76m in grants to its client companies. I have no responsibility for Udarás na Gaeltachta which comes within the remit of my colleague, the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
