Water and Sewerage Schemes.
11:00 am
Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)
Yes. I am not sure, but it seems to be the practice to add some schemes, since the programme is rolling. It was certainly the case last year that some were added. That happens every year. However, it seems that it will be beyond 2006. If it is a rolling programme, that might be adjusted this year or next to 2005 to 2008. I am not quite sure, but it need not necessarily mean that one must end the current three-year programme before starting another. It is often done on the basis of a rolling programme adjusted on an ongoing basis. I hear what the Senator is saying and I will raise the points he made in the Department.
