I propose to take Questions Nos. 74 to 76, inclusive, together.
The Government decided on 27 January 2004 to approve proposals to redevelop Lansdowne Road stadium as a 50,000 seat state of the art stadium at an estimated cost of €292 million, with the Exchequer providing €191 million and the balance to be met by the IRFU and the FAI. This proposal was brought to the Government following consideration of a joint proposal by the IRFU and the FAI to meet the stadium infrastructure deficit for the playing of soccer and rugby matches. Since the Government's decision of 27 January, my Department has been working with the IRFU and FAI to plan for and progress the implementation of the decision, both through the stadium steering group, which is chaired by the Secretary General of my Department and comprises representatives of my Department, the Office of Public Works, the IRFU and the FAI, and through bilateral contact with both organisations.
