I propose to take Questions Nos. 130 and 131 together.

An overall review of the urban renewal schemes as they have operated to date is currently under way. As part of the review, a consultants' study on the impact of the schemes in economic, social and architectural terms has been completed and published and is now the subject of a process of public consultation. Submissions have been invited from interested persons and organisations in relation to the study's conclusions and recommendations. Copies of the study are available in the Oireachtas Library. There are no proposals at this stage to extend the present urban renewal scheme to any additional areas. It would be inappropriate to consider what new areas, if any, might be suitable for designation as part of any future scheme until general policy in relation to the next phase of urban renewal is determined in the light of the review.
