Public Accounts Committee

2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts

12:00 pm

Mr. Ronan Mulhall:

The Deputy will have seen that we put up on our website the response regarding the programme of measures and the European Commission has indicated that it sees this as a model of how to approach and respond to a judgment. As the Deputy will have seen, the projected expenditure into the future to deal with the final issues associated with that was €105.6 million. This includes not just remediation of sites but also some key pieces that had to be put in place to deal with our structures and how we respond to enforcement of the legislation, including enforcement grants for the support of local authority enforcement officers. That is another piece within this, and it also includes addressing some very significant sites, such as the former Irish Steel plant at Irish Ispat, Haulbowline. These add considerably to the overall total.
