asked the Minister for the Environment the amount of money allocated to the northern committee of Cork County Council under the environmental improvement scheme; and the number of youths employed each year under this scheme since its inception.
Comment on this
I propose to take Questions Nos. 26 and 27 together. As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose to have the information requested circulated with the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
Environment Improvement Scheme
Notes:
1 Allocations under the Environmental Improvement Scheme, which commenced in 1977, are made by the Department on a county borough/county-at-large (excl. Dublin) basis. The distribution of an allocation to sub-areas within a county is a matter for the appropriate County Manager. The amounts in the table, therefore, are those portions of overall allocations notified to Cork County Council which were allocated locally to the authorities in question.
2 Figures in respect of numbers of youths employed on the scheme in the years prior to 1980 are not available in the Department.
