Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works

Mr. Jim Casey:

The figure of €1.5 million would relate to planning applications. Costs are paid at so much per square metre. There would also be surveys and so on. A lot of that work will be of use. We surveyed the wing of the campus in the National Concert Hall area. That had to be done anyway because the buildings are of a certain age. When UCD pulled out in 2007, those buildings were not in the best shape. They need to be fixed. The survey work will be of benefit no matter what happens. As I said earlier, 58% of the funding for the project will go into the historic building.
