A total of almost €122.0 million European Social Funding has been received into the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment accounts since 1 January 2007 to date. The amount of this funding allocated to project activity is €106.7 million and the balance of €15.3 million relates to payments on account that were received from the European Commission. This is broken down by year and European Social Fund Programme as follows:
| Programme | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | Total |
| Employment and Human ResourcesDevelopment Operation Programme 2000-2006 | 81,926,413.71 | 81,926,413.71 | |||
| Equal Community Initiative Programme 2000-2006 | 6,287,438.70 | 6,287,438.70 | |||
| Human Capital Investment Operational Programme 2007-2013 | 4,074,934.00 | 24,331,366.80 | 5,347,088.66 | 33,753,389.46 | |
| Total | 92,288,786.41 | 24,331,366.80 | 5,347,088.66 | 0.00 | 121,967,241.87 |
A very large number of projects are allocated and in receipt of this European Social Funding and, as a result, it is not practically possible for my Department to provide a list of funding by project in the format requested within the timeframe allowed.
