I propose to take Questions Nos. 282 and 284 together.

My Department will be seeking proposals from the local authorities in Cork, Galway, Limerick and Waterford for the allocation of Exchequer funds in 2009 towards the cost of bus priority and park and ride measures. I will decide on the allocation of funding to specific projects following discussions with the local authorities. To date, my Department has provided the following funding for Green Routes in Cork.

In regard to these figures I would like to point out that the Airport to City Centre route consists of two Green Routes, according to the CASP, but that these were implemented through one contract.
