There are increased costs at a local level for projects Fáilte Ireland is involved in funding. The witnesses will probably be familiar with the likes of the Knights and Conquests Heritage Centre project in Granard in north Longford. It has been funded by Fáilte Ireland and the Government to the tune of nearly €3 million from rural regeneration funding. We have now been hit with significant increased costs in trying to bring this project across the line. Is this something Fáilte Ireland could consider? Is there an opportunity for further funding to be provided to these projects to match potential further funding from the Government to ensure delivery? Have any issues been identified over the last 24 months regarding other projects not proceeding because of increased costs?
