Richard Bruton

Question:

399 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will publish the details of the capital projects being initiated during 2003 by his Department and planned for the following four years; and the current estimate of the final cost of the projects in each case. [14457/03]

Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Cullen)

Capital projects funded by my Department are, in the main, initiated by either local authorities or bodies operating under my Department's aegis, save for a limited number of capital projects pertaining principally to the heritage programme. No major new capital projects of this kind have yet been commenced this year.

Indicative information on heritage projects to be commenced over the period 2000 to 2006 has been set out in the national development plan. My Department is completing a review and update of this NDP programme.
