Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what amount of INTERREG grant Northern Ireland Railways will expect to receive in relation to the development of(a) Portadown and (b) Lisburn railway stations. [32404]

Mr. Moss

Northern Ireland Railways has not applied for grant from the INTERREG II programme for the development of Portadown and Lisburn railway stations.

Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what amount of financial contribution Northern Ireland Railways expects to receive from Craigavon district council in relation to the development of Portadown railway station. [32405]

Mr. Moss

There are no plans for any development at Portadown railway station in the immediate future. Therefore the question of funding from Craigavon district council does not arise.

Mr. Mallon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what amount of financial contribution Northern Ireland Railways expects to receive from Lisburn district council in relation to the development of Lisburn railway station. [32406]

Mr. Moss

There will be no financial contribution from Lisburn borough council. The expenditure incurred at Lisburn has resulted from the need to carry out work to the structure of the building, which had become a safety risk. The full cost of the work is being met by the Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company.
