201 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the capital programmes contained in the national development plan and funded by his Department that have commenced in the constituency of Longford-Roscommon in 2000; the details of any such programmes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17552/00]
The national development plan sets out a framework for the development of physical infrastructure, including national roads, public transport, water services, energy, housing and health facilities over the period 2000 to 2006. This framework will be further elaborated in the economic and social infrastructure operational programme and programme complement that are at present being drawn up. In addition, two regional operational programmes for the Border, midland and western region and the southern and eastern region will outline proposals for investment in the development of infrastructure such as waste management, non-national roads, rural water schemes and urban and village development.
