Minister for the Environment (Mr. Howlin)

I propose to take Questions Nos. 102 and 105 together.

Contract documents for both these schemes are with my Department at present. Having regard to the existing high level of commitments under the water and sewerage programme, I cannot say when it may be possible to approve them.
