Mr. Paul Kavanagh:

That is another contentious issue. The estimate was €400,000. We understand that the first tender - there was, as I stated, only one - came in higher. As we understand it, that figure is now closer to €525,000 plus VAT. If I am calculating correctly, that gives a total of approximately €650,000. We do not know what is happening and how much of the cost relates to the new fish pass and how much to the repair. We are asking Cork County Council that we be allowed to meet the architects and engineers in advance of any decision being made on how to proceed. My understanding is that the council is being forced by IFI to put in a new fish pass which, in our view, is not required.
