Vol. 520 No. 2
98 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Finance the new services or the extension of existing services contained in the national development plan, which are funded by his Department, which have commenced or will commence in County Westmeath in 2000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15433/00]
99 Mr. Penrose asked the Minister for Finance the capital programmes contained in the national development plan and funded by his Department that have commenced or will commence in the Westmeath constituency in 2000; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15459/00]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 98 and 99 together.
While my Department has overall responsibility for the national development plan, implementation of the plan is a matter for the implementing Departments – that is, Departments with the exception of my Department and the Departments of the Taoiseach, Foreign Affairs and Defence – and the implementing bodies. They are responsible for capital projects and schemes which will be funded under the national development plan. Any information relating to the Deputy's request should therefore be obtained from these Departments.
