I propose to take Questions Nos. 197 and 198 together.
Public notice of the preparation and submission to me of an environmental impact study in respect of the Blackpool by-pass was published by Cork Corporation on 20 February 1991. Under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Regulations, 1990, interested persons may, within a period of one month from the date of the public notice, make submissions or observations to me regarding the effects on the environment of the proposed development. I have no proposals to change this time limit.
