The OPW obviously carries out cost-benefit analyses on any such schemes. The original benefit was estimated at €18 million, which was greater than the estimated cost of €12 million. The current estimated cost is well over the €18 million mark. It may possibly be the first time in the history of the OPW that the proposed cost of a scheme is greater than the estimated benefit. Will the Minister of State comment on that? Is he aware of any other such case?
