Ms Clare McGrath:

It is in excess of €2 million. That would be for schemes - there could be a substantial scheme costing up to €500,000 but they are largely schemes costing €30,000 to €40,000 - and where a study is required. It is not for maintenance but for schemes where there is an identifiable measure that could be put in place to alleviate risk. It does not remove responsibility from the owner in respect of maintenance, and I would not like it to move into that area. Actual works is what would be prioritised by us in respect of the applications.
