I wish to refer the Deputy to a written reply given to Deputy Rory O'Hanlon on 16 December 1981 which listed the tourism-related projects which commenced in 1981. In addition to those projects the following were undertaken during the course of that year: Provision of landing facilities at Aranmore and Burtonport; Purchase of buses for Derry/Lough Swilly Railway Company; Grants for craft industries in the Border counties; Marketing aids for small and medium-sized industries.
