I propose to take Questions Nos. 18 and 31 together.

In January 2004 the Government decided to proceed with the development of a sports campus on the State owned lands at Abbotstown. Campus and Stadium Ireland Development Limited, CSID, was requested to put forward proposals for the development of a sports campus and I have received from CSID a development control plan for a sports campus there.

It is my intention to present proposals to the Government shortly on the development of a sports campus at Abbotstown. In the meantime, I do not intend to make any further statement or go into detail on this matter until I have presented my proposals and secured the agreement of my Cabinet colleagues.
