Dublin Docklands Development Authority: Annual Report and Financial Statements

Mr. John Crawley:

There is actually a care and maintenance programme on the boat. Let me not give the impression that we have done nothing with the ship. All of the revenues that come in from the fees we collect are pumped straight back into maintaining the boat. Best practice is to take a boat like that out of the water every two years or so and do an examination. That is an expensive process. It costs in the order of €50,000.
