2019 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Mr. Mark Griffin:
Just bear with me for one moment while I put my hands on the relevant note. In simple terms, the total cost will be €38 million.
Up until the end of 2019, we spent €27.91 million. That means expenditure of €1.8 million in 2019, including VAT. Much of this expenditure would have been in the set-up phase – the design, encoding a database, the launch and dissemination. Where an increase can be seen, it concerns the ongoing maintenance and dissemination costs, and a small increase in staff costs in the Department.
