I propose to take Questions Nos. 285, 286 and 289 together.

Expenditure across the three main programme areas, including administration, for 2005 is as follows:

Expenditure within these programme areas takes place across a wide range of schemes and projects, descriptions of which are available on my Department's website at www.pobail.ie. It is the practice of both my colleague, Minister of State, Deputy Noel Ahern, and myself to make details of all announcements relating to grant approvals and other expenditure-related decisions under these programmes available on the Department's website. The many schemes have varying closing dates, details of which are also on my Department's website. If the Deputy would like information regarding a particular scheme, I would be glad to provide details to him.
