Mr. Graham Doyle:
The €50 million allocated in 2023 concerned ongoing activity around several projects. The Cork city northwest quarter regeneration plan, the Limerick regeneration plan and the regeneration plans for Tralee in Kerry and Cranmore in Sligo were the four that accounted for the €37 million funding that year. Our estimate and our information at the start of the year – back at budget time – would have been that €50 million was required. The difference would have either been moved to another delivery stream or carried forward for future spending. We try to work with these regeneration projects and provide the funding for them as is required. There was underspending that year, however.
