asked the Minister for the Environment the state of progress in relation to the provision of a by-pass on the N4 from Leixlip to Kilcock, County Kildare; if the proposal will be sanctioned in the near future; if he will give an assurance that the necessary funding will be made available; when work is likely to commence on the project; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

156.
The report and recommendation of the inspector who held the public inquiry into Kildare County Council's application for approval to a motorway scheme for this by-pass have been completed and I expect to be in a position to give the council a decision in regard to the application shortly.
