I propose to take Questions Nos. 71 and 72 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is as follows.
| Projects targeted in the last NDP in County Wexford | Breakdown of each project completed or the stage that each project is at | Overspend envisaged and explanation for each | Investments outlined in the last NDP for County Wexford |

I can further inform the Deputy that the Aiseirí residential treatment and aftercare facility in Wexford was targeted in the last National Development Plan for funding. Aiseirí caters for persons who are chemically dependent including, but not limited to, alcoholics and drug addicts as well as catering for the treatment of gamblers. The centre provides for the rehabilitation, treatment and care of such persons (offenders) who were/are under the supervision of the Probation Service. During the term of the last NDP this facility received funding in the sum of €519,858 for the service provided which was in keeping with the approved funding allocation to that facility.
In addition, the Deputy will appreciate that County Wexford also benefited from the many national initiatives carried out under the last NDP.
