I propose to take Questions Nos. 233 and 225 together.
The figure of €30 million referred to by the Deputy was originally set out in my Department's capital envelope for 2005-09 published 12 months ago. It was reproduced in this year's Abridged Estimate Volume on the basis that it would be subject to revision on budget day. Thus, the figure of €20 million provided for in the 2006-10 capital envelope for my Department is based on the most up-to-date estimate of the 2006 funding needs of the project as projected by the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company and its design and project management teams.
I assure the Deputy that the project is proceeding in accordance with the schedule set out for the project and the Government is fully committed to the funding which has been outlined for the development. Indeed, under the funding arrangements made with the Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company the Deputy should be aware that the Exchequer funding for the project is front loaded. At the end of this year an amount of €10 million will have been spent on the project. I understand that a planning application will be ready for lodgement by the end of this month.
