View answerMy Department has not to date made an allocation for 2006 to Cork County Council for the provision of civic amenity sites. The total allocations made to Cork County Council in 2004 and 2005 for the provision of such facilities are as follows: Raffeen civic amenity facility, €1,134,400; Bandon civic amenity facility, €481,000; and Macroom civic amenity facility, €1,812,000. An additional sum of €184,000 was made available for the provision of bring banks. This brings to €3,611,400 the amount to date allocated to Cork County Council of total allocations of about €60 million made nationally to date. Further allocations will be made on the basis of applications to be submitted by all local authorities involved in the scheme.
