I propose to take Questions Nos. 144 and 174 to 177, inclusive, together.
On 29 July 1992, Roscommon County Council submitted an environmental impact statement to me in respect of the proposed N4 Curlews project and applied for certification in accordance with article 38 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Regulations, 1990. Public notice of this application was given in the local press by the local authority on 7 August 1992 and interested members of the public had the opportunity of making submissions to me in the matter within one month of the date of the notice. The environmental impact statement and all submissions received are currently under examination and a decision will be made by me as soon as possible.
