Mr. John McCarthy:
I will deal first with the last question on the weir housing scheme as the Chairman raised it with us when we appeared before the committee in February. A proposal involving 41 units, comprising 26 apartments and 15 houses, was submitted to the Department in March. We reviewed the proposal and gave full funding approval in March. In April Túath Housing was appointed as the approved housing body to enter into lease agreements. These agreements are being finalised.
