Mr. Mark Griffin:

There is a spoil heap at a place called Tigroney that has been addressed. Approximately 850 adits have been covered. There was a risk to the Dublin-Rosslare railway line which has been made safe in conjunction with Irish Rail. They are the preliminary safety works which have been done. The bigger plan will be in preparation for 2019 and we will then need to look at the cost estimate. The figure that has been mooted, although it is somewhat historical, is approximately €50 million, but I do not know what the cost will be. We spent approximately €11 million at the Silvermines. All of the work has been done, except for the work to be done at Garryard tailings facility.
