I propose to take Questions Nos. 481 and 482 together.

The original forecast of expenditure under the National Roads priority relate to calendar years only and for the period 1st January 2000 to 31st December 2006 for the BMW region is €2,479.362 million, and the south and east region €4,269.087 million.

The actual expenditure outturn for the period 1st January 2000 to the 30th June 2006 with a further six month expenditure still to take place amounts to for the BMW region €1,760.443 million and for the south and east region €5,372.538 million.
