I propose to take Questions Nos. 112 and 126 together.
As already announced, responsibility for the administration of the group schemes programme has been devolved to the local authorities, subject to existing commitments on foot of approvals issued by my Department. Where schemes have already been approved, such as the Cregg scheme, the local authority will issue the grant allocation to the group as soon as possible. Block grant allocations were notified to local authorities on 26 March 1997, which takes into account the commitments made.
Where schemes have not yet been approved, including the Ballyvannon-Tuamgraney scheme, it will in the future be a matter for the local authorities to decide on grant applications.
