I propose to take Questions Nos. 229 and 230 together.
Over the period 1999 to date, over €755 million has been provided by my Department to Ballymun Regeneration Ltd (BRL) in respect of the physical, social and economic regeneration of Ballymun.
The physical regeneration of Ballymun is now approaching practical completion. The final housing project at the Emerald housing site is due to be completed later this year. My Department is committed to support certain social and economic interventions in Ballymun over the medium term. However, with the wind-down of BRL, responsibility for on-going improvements in Ballymun is a matter for Dublin City Council. The issue of any Exchequer funding for any proposals for the provision of road infrastructure in the area would be a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport.
