Special Report No. 92 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Strategic Planning for Flood Risk Management

9:10 am

Ms Clare McGrath:

It is feasible to achieve that six year programme. I am not saying that ends the programme because what we will have now is prioritised, other than the ones that are in hand being developed or previously developed of the remainder of the 300 because this one is of most benefit to the environment, to communities and homes, the social benefit. We will work through them in that way. What has been programmed out and allocated from Government across all the demands to this will allow us to progress and it is scaling up from where we are now between €45 million and €50 million to being €100 million within a number of years. It is scaling up to deliver on that. It will continue beyond that but that is in the next round. We go to Government in the round but funding is being set out to 2021. That is the basis for this additional demand.
