In recent months, I have changed the allocation for minor works from €750,000 to €2 million. It is open to a local authority to seek funding. Somebody has to take ownership. This does not fall within the remit of the OPW but I can be sure the local authority or some such body is the owner. The changes we have made would allow works like those proposed to be carried out.
