I thank the Deputy for the question. If he would not mind giving me the particular details I can look at them in more detail. It is important to note, however, that the commercial rates Bill, which will allow local authorities to vary rates bills, is priority legislation that will be taken by the Minister of State, Deputy Phelan, very shortly. Also, there are special funds in Project Ireland 2040 for local authorities for regeneration and development. That might be a potential avenue for the schemes that have been mentioned but if the Deputy wants to give me the particular details, I will look into the issue in more detail.
