I propose to take Questions Nos. 506 and 507 together.

The elements of the new National Development Plan 2007-2013 that come within the remit of my Department provide for the implementation of measures rather than specific projects, including infrastructural projects. The measures cover support for agri-food research and the agri-food sector. I expect that the measures will commence in 2007 and will continue for the period of the Plan.
