Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Upgrade of the Dunkettle Interchange in Cork: Transport Infrastructure Ireland

Ms Geraldine Fitzpatrick:

We manage the entire programme but all projects are developed by different teams and different people. They all move independently of each other in that respect. Were a delay to occur on this project, not that it will, it would not delay the other projects. They are all moving ahead at their own pace, as quickly as they can. In fact, two of them are going ahead quicker than we had originally planned. In short, if this project is delayed, it will not impact on the Ballyvourney to Macroom project, as that has already been tendered and the tenders are currently under assessment. They do not impact on one another in that way. We manage the funding as part of a programme and adjust it depending on what is or is not going ahead. As Mr. Nolan previously pointed out, however, we manage it as a programme. Everything is managed within that programme. I hope that answers the question.
