I have no plans at present to extend the areas covered by the RAPID programme. However, as I have stated previously, I am examining an apparent anomaly with regard to Ballyfermot, which despite meeting the criteria for inclusion in strand I of the programme, was omitted due to its inclusion in the URBAN II programme.
