View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 526 and 527 together.
Notwithstanding the constraints on capital expenditure a cross the various measures under my Department's Social Housing Investment Programme, I will continue to support the National Regeneration Programme to the fullest extent possible. I am determined that there will be no loss of momentum in 2013 in progressing regeneration projects in Dublin City, including the former PPP projects and Ballymun, and the other priority projects in Limerick City, Cork City and in a number of regional towns around the country. Work is currently underway in my Department on preparing the capital allocations under the housing programme for 2013, including allocations to agencies an d local authorities in respect of their regeneration programmes. I intend to announce details of these allocations as soon as possible.
