A Remedial Works Scheme application in relation to the project in question was received in late 2008 and, following an evaluation process, an approval in principle in respect of the application was issued by my Department in February 2009. This project, which is at an early stage of development, is part of an overall three-year remedial works programme. As is the case with all such remedial works projects, expenditure arising will be co-funded by the commissioning authority, in this case South Dublin County Council, who will contribute to the project costs from their own internal capital receipts (ICRs). The matter of Exchequer funding for this project will be considered in the context of the 2010 housing allocations and South Dublin County Council's plans for the future application of ICRs.
