I am lucky that I, too, can think parochially. As the Deputy is aware, the site in question was taken over by Kildare County Council and preparations are well progressed for its remediation in the coming years. Applications for the necessary permissions are expected to be lodged this year. Significant funding from the Vote has been expended on the site to date. Subject to procurement procedures that are to follow, several tens of millions of euro are expected to be required to remediate the site. Kildare County Council is likely to draw down funding of approximately €4.5 million this year alone, making it the largest single beneficiary under the subhead by some distance. I hope that clarifies the matter.
