Ms Maria O'Dwyer:

Yes. That estimate has been externally reviewed and challenged. We should consider the significant nature of the project and what it would deliver. It is crucial, not only for the greater Dublin area but also for Kildare, Meath and Wicklow. In time, the project will actually serve the population all along the eastern and midlands corridor. It is vital for towns like Mullingar, which spent much of this year subject to a boil water notice because of the challenges we faced.
