207. Deputy John Browne asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the status of proposals unveiled in the capital investment plan 2016-21 to develop and regenerate Waterford city's north quays and to support tourism in the region, the timeframe for their delivery; the estimated Exchequer funding foreseen for them; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44293/15]

I do not have the details requested by the Deputy as these proposals are not included in the Capital Programme of the Department of Transport Tourism and Sport.

I understand, however, that in the context of finalising the capital plan entitled "Building on Recovery: Infrastructure and Capital Investment 2016-2021", there were discussions on proposals to develop and regenerate Waterford City North Quays. I understand that the capital plan contains an undertaking that support will be provided under that Exchequer Programme for the proposed development.
