Vol. 493 No. 5
145 Ms Fitzgerald asked the Minister for Finance the reallocation of EU funds in the Dublin area; and the proportion of this funding which will be available for road development, buses, quality bus corridors and the provision of cycle lanes. [16590/98]
149 Ms Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide details on the reallocation of the £114 million which had previously been earmarked for Luas with information on the amount reallocated to each project and the allocation for childcare services in particular. [16811/98]
I propose to take Questions Nos. 145 and 149 together.
Following on from a decision taken during the Mid-Term Review of the Community Support Framework regarding the review of progress on major projects, the CSF Monitoring Committee at its meeting held on 25 June 1998 have decided to re-allocate £161 million of which 150 million were funds earmarked to LUAS. These funds have been re-allocated as detailed below:
