The co-ordinated area plans are really important. I remember the urgency with which the then Minister of State, Deputy John Paul Phelan, brought forward a general scheme on this particular issue. In Athlone, Ferrybank in Waterford and Drogheda and that part of east Meath, there is obviously a certain level of urgency. I am not against the idea of giving more time because one year is probably too little, in fairness.

I have one question with respect to this. Does the Department have a list of the areas that will be likely to utilise this? The number is small. I mentioned three areas and there cannot be many more. For the record, will the Minister of State list the co-ordinated area plans?
