I set out in the following table a list of projects put forward in 2014 as potential projects for EFSI funding by my Department.
The Department agreed the submission of the list to the Department of Finance. In doing so, it recognised that this was a technical list of potential projects and that inclusion on the list did not imply any commitment to State funding.
