Some of the 58 will actually come out this year. Six schemes are at construction stage, including those in Athlone and Templemore, which will be completed this year. Three schemes are at detailed design stage. These include King’s Island in Limerick, Glashaboy in Glanmire, County Cork. Five others are at stage 2. These include the scheme in Enniscorthy, which, unfortunately, has had to go back to stage 2 because the application for planning permission was unsuccessful. Some 75 schemes are at design, development or preliminary business case stage. A further 58 are in tranche 2, and are identified under the NDP. Of the 75 schemes at stage 1, 12 will be going for planning permission this year.
