I propose to take Questions Nos. 143, 145, 146, 147 and 148 together.

Proposals for these schemes are under consideration in my department.

My Department has provided some £30 million for investment in water and waste water services in Cork City and County in the five years to 1995. Priority now attaches in the Cork Corporation Programme to the development of the major waste water treatment scheme for the city. The possibility of supporting other smaller projects within the corporation's programme will be regularly reviewed during the period of the National Development Plan.
