Written Answers. - Urban Renewal Schemes.
The expert advisory panel on town renewal is currently in the process of examining the various town renewal plans submitted by county councils. The panel will make recommendations to me as to the areas to be designated and the incentives to be applied. Subject to the agreement of Minister for Finance, I will then announce the designations and I expect to be in a position to do this by mid-summer.
