Mr. Niall Healy:

We have a capital programme for three years, but because this project is not co-financed by any other Department or arm of Government, it does not fall directly within it. For this particular project we are depending on revenue and resources which are limited and which are committed across a range of programme groups. We have done our part in identifying seed funding to get the process started because we are looking at an 18-month design period and cannot afford to lose any further time. That is very clear. The people of Fermoy are very clear in articulating that.
