It is not appropriate for me to provide details of Budget considerations at this time.

Spatial Plan

(Question No 584)

Mrs Dunne

asked the Minister for Planning the following questions, upon notice:

In relation to the Spatial Plan.

How much money was allocated to develop a Spatial Plan in the additional appropriations for the 2001-02 budget and the 2002-03 budget;

How much money has been expended to date on developing the Spatial Plan?

How much money has been expended on consultancies to date in developing the Spatial Plan?

Do you have an estimate of how much it will cost to develop the Spatial Plan in total, and, if so, what is it?

When will you be releasing the Spatial Plan?

When did you originally plan to release the Spatial Plan and has the development of the plan fallen behind schedule?

Mr Corbell: The answer to the member's question is as follows:
