I propose to take Questions Nos. 339 and 340 together.
Officials of my Department have had discussions with the Royal Canal Amenity Group-Jubilee Rally Committee in regard to the provision of assistance for the proposed rally next August. Agreement has been reached to provide a range of facilities at a number of locations along the canal, including Leixlip, Maynooth and Kilcock.
