I propose to take Questions Nos. 231 and 288 together.

As I stated in my reply of 13 January 2016 it is expected that the project will be offered for tender in early 2016. The position has not changed.

The HSE has submitted its draft Capital Plan for the multi-annual period 2016-2021. This is being reviewed. It requires my approval together with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. When approved the HSE will publish the schedule of projects on its website.
