Mr. Dominic Mullaney:

Regarding this particular route, the council may be proposing a road which is to be a regional road. The council could submit an application under our strategic grant scheme. We have had discussions with it and indicated the first thing it needs to do is to submit a strategic assessment report, essentially, setting out the purpose of the road, namely, if it is to serve the port or assist with the provision of housing, or both, setting out the objectives and so on. That is the first stage. We have not received anything on that to date. In terms of whether it would get funded, that would depend on what we get. I understand in this case there is possibly opportunities for funding the housing element from other sources.
