I propose to take Questions Nos. 707 and 708 together.

The Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme provides funding for the development of new outdoor recreational infrastructure and for the maintenance and promotion of existing infrastructure. Louth County Council were approved funding of €200,000 under the Scheme for the development and enhancement of the Boyne Greenway.

Earlier this year, Louth County Council requested permission to revise the scope of the approved works. This amendment was approved by my Department subject to a Project Implementation Plan being submitted. To date, no plan has been submitted.

My Department has afforded every opportunity to Louth County Council to revise the project scope and put all the necessary permissions in place. I have asked my officials to contact Louth County Council again in order to clarify their plans in relation to this project.

Question No. 708 answered with Question No. 707.
