The OPW is delivering the project on our behalf. A lot of the allocation of €68 million is for what is already delivered. I do not have an up-to-date note on what is outstanding. The figure represents our allocation towards the aspects of the project relating to my Department. I now have some additional information to hand. There are significant enabling works in the overall plan as part of the proposed site for the permanent infrastructure currently in use by the port. The Department is also engaging with CIÉ and the OPW in respect of a long-term lease agreement for the site. Overall, the project consists of the construction of Rosslare Europort terminal 7 and enabling works on a new border control post. The buildings comprise facilities for a range of activities, including for the use of the Garda, immigration, a Revenue enforcement and control area and, more pertinently from an agriculture point of view, live animal inspection facilities for equine ungulates and other animals, including domestic pets, and checks on products of animal origin.

In terms of the cost apportionment, the total cost of the project is €236 million, of which the €68 million is our portion. I can get an update from the OPW for the Deputy on how much of the work is completed.
