I propose to take Questions Nos. 99, 104 and 108 together.

Negotiations are continuing with Kildare County Council for the acquisition of an additional plot of land for this development. The Office of Public Works wrote to the council again on 16 February 2005 regarding clarification of certain estate issues in respect of this plot of land. No response has been received from the council as yet. When these negotiations are completed satisfactorily, a reviewed sketch scheme will be issued to the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform for approval.
