Here is the killer question. What is the figure the Department will need to carry out those works? For all of us here, they are all of concern. I will be parochial and refer to my constituency. Ms Brogan has referred to one project from Carrigtwohill to Midleton. What can the committee do to assist the Department in getting a full understanding of the finance it will need to carry out these works? I am sure the Chair and the committee would be amenable to talking to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to try to achieve the budget required to carry out these works.
