I propose to take Questions Nos. 660 to 662, inclusive, together.

All of the projects referred to in the questions have been approved for grant aid under my Department's library capital programme. Grant aid of up to 75% of capital costs is available towards approved library building projects and expenditure in excess of the grant aid is a matter for the relevant local authority. The estimated grant aid for each of the projects is set out in the following table. Actual grant aid is only finalised when tenders for projects are being approved.
