2012 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 6 - Land Swap Arrangement in the Provision of Affordable Houses
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works

Mr. Tony Smyth:

It is not weighted against the area. It is about how many houses actually flooded and then what is the cost of fixing them against the engineering works. In some cases, engineering works could run to millions of euro just to protect two or three houses. That does not stack up. I do not have the exact number of houses affected in the area in question but in the normal case it is computed on how many houses are protected against the cost of €2 million for engineering works.
