I propose to take Question Nos. 447 and 448 together.

Having regard to the existing high level of commitments under my Department's funding schemes for voluntary and co-operative housing, I am not in a position to approve funding for these proposals at this time. The funding applications will be considered in the light of, inter alia, the estimates provision for new projects in 2010 and the relative priority afforded to the projects by Longford County Council.
