Mr. Peter Walsh:

The allocation for the year of €1.5 million was to advance the project towards construction. The request that came from Cork County Council was to seek approval to go out to tender. The tender would be far in excess of the €1.5 million because, as Deputy O'Connor correctly stated, it is a €7 million project. The uncertainty around what we can support is one that has existed until very recently, with confirmation on what the allocations will be next year. We now have that confirmation, and it must go through a process of approval by the board in terms of the distribution of the allocations across all of the projects under our aegis. We are now in a position where we have more certainty on funding. That difficulty is one that we have got over, but what we could not do, and we have said it to several local authorities-----
