I propose to take Questions Nos. 1055 and 1056 together.

Funding proposals by Leitrim County Council under the Remedial Works Scheme in respect of Treanmore, Mohill, Dristernan and Drumshanbo were received in my Department in December 2006. Following a technical examination of the proposals, the works were deemed to be outside the remit of the Remedial Work Scheme and approval was given to the Council to include the works in the authority's own Improvement Works Programme. No further proposals have been received in respect of these works.

My Department is considering all proposals submitted for inclusion in the Social Housing Investment Programme, in the light of available resources and competing demands. Housing authorities have been provided with provisional allocations for their main social housing supply and improvement works programmes for 2009. However, these provisional allocations may be subject to further possible amendment, and the programmes involved for 2009 will be discussed at the next round of Housing Action Plan meetings which is due to start in early March. It is the intention to issue final allocations for 2009 in April, following completion of the Housing Action Plan meetings. It is a matter for each housing authority to prioritise projects under their Housing Action Plan.

Further to the reply to Question No 400 of 16 December, 2008, the proposal is currently under consideration in my Department in the context of a number of applications received under the Remedial Works Scheme.
