I propose to take Questions Nos. 505 and 506 together.
The projects in question, which are at an early stage of development, are part of my Department's Remedial Works Programme 2009-2011. Proposals for these projects were received in Autumn 2008 and, following an evaluation process, approval in principle to both projects issued from my Department in February 2009.
Certain further details provided by Clare County Council on the design, costing and phasing of the projects are the subject of technical examination by my Department, with a view to reaching agreement with the Council as soon as possible on an inclusive programme of works.
