Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

Earlier this year I announced capital funding of € 51 million over the 3-year period 2012-2014 for the substantial completion of Ballymun regeneration project. I have no proposals to reduce the allocation for Ballymun.

In the case of the other projects being advanced under the National Regeneration Programme, capital allocations for 2013 will be determined on the basis of the funding proposals and regeneration work programmes to be submitted to my Department in early 2013.
