Public Accounts Committee

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

9:10 am

Ms Clare McGrath:

The original budget for the pilots was €3.5 million. I completely accept that the figure relating to the estimate for the pilots is much lower. One of the reasons for doing the pilot projects is to determine what might be our costs. It is through the learning on the pilot projects that we determined costs and these then inform the national CFRAM, in respect of which the budget has been set at €30 million. In terms of the national projects, we are largely within that budget. The pilot projects were, in part, about learning about costs, time, technical issues and procurement.
