I refer to the reply to Question Nos. 481 and 486 of 6 May 2009.

My Department has been in regular contact with Kilrush Town Council in relation to the project concerned and revised options for the redevelopment of the Estate were more recently put forward at a meeting with my Department in August 2009. The Town Council is currently addressing remaining design concerns with a view to forwarding a revised master plan shortly for my Department's consideration. The project will be advanced as soon as possible within the Remedial Works Programme 2009-2011, subject to agreement on an inclusive programme of development works. The inclusion of up to six further vacant properties in the Estate for funding under my Department's Energy Efficiency Grants Scheme has also been approved.
