I propose to take Questions Nos. 110 and 111 together.

The Deputy is referring to an application for funds under the European Globalisation Fund made by the previous government for the purposes of helping construction workers made redundant between July 2009 and March 2010. A breakdown by county of former employment location of the redundant workers included in the EGF applications for the NACE 41 Construction of Buildings, NACE 43 Specialised Construction Activities and NACE 71 Architectural Services construction sub-sectors is set out as follows. My Department has not notified any of the identified redundant workers to date. However, it is intended that letters notifying all persons who are eligible for EGF co-financed assistance of a number of new supports being made available to them will issue very shortly.
