Economic History | Ireland | The present structural funds programs will allocate 3.7 billion euro in EU Structural and Cohesion funding to Ireland in the period 2000-2006. In attempting to maximize the transfer of funds from Brussels, the Irish Government divided the country into two regions, the Border, Midland and West region (BMW) and the Southern and Eastern (S&E) region; the former benefits from maximum aid rates and the latter will phase out over the period 2000-2006. The division of the country into two regions has a significant impact on the rates of state aid that can be offered to potential inward investors, as the Irish government can offer maximum aid rates of up to 40 percent in the BMW region, and a reduced 20 percent in the S&E region.
