I propose to take Questions Nos. 542 and 558 together.

My Department recently invited expressions of interest from a variety of organisations, agencies and groups in respect of the funding of recreational infrastructure projects, should funding become available.

This initiative has generated a considerable amount of interest and my Department is currently carrying out a detailed assessment of each expression of interest received, including those referred to by the Deputies. This assessment process, which I envisage will be completed over the coming weeks, will allow projects to be prioritised for any funding which is made available.
