European funding for the Southern Cross route
Andrews asked about applying to the EMS special fund and seeking EEC assistance by designating the route as part of European route E01. The Minister said he would check whether the route was included in the previous application; the Chair advised that the designation request be asked separately.
Has the Minister made an application for moneys from the EMS special fund for the development of this route? Would the Minister also consider designating this route part of the European route EO1, for the purpose of EEC assistance?
Comment on this
I cannot say at this stage whether or not it was part of the application made last year. I would have to check it up.
