I propose to take to Questions Nos. 479 and 502 together.

There have been no proposals to my Department from Dublin City Council in respect of this flat complex. Central heating has been installed, new windows have been provided and roof replacement works have been carried out to the complex under the city council's area regeneration programme. I understand there are a number of dwellings in the city council's stock, including the flats in Markievicz House, which do not have sinks in their bathrooms and that the city council is formulating proposals to be submitted to my Department on the provision of such facilities.

Jack Wall

Ceist:

480 Mr. Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding the application by Kildare County Council in regard to funding for the refurbishment of a housing scheme (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5596/04]

Amharc ar fhreagra

Kildare County Council submitted an outline proposal to my Department in 1996 to undertake refurbishment work to houses at Maddenstown under my Department's remedial works scheme. The council subsequently informed my Department that further scoping work was required and that the council would revert to my Department. There are no current proposals in my Department in relation to this original outline proposal.
