Chapter 5: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities
Special Report No 84: Transhipment of Waste

Mr. John McCarthy:
There is no funding from the Department for the project at St. Francis Abbey. It is a matter for the local authority, the National Treasury Management Agency and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, ISIF.
On the legal costs associated with the central access route, given that it is a road project, it is a matter for the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport which I presume is funding the project. It would not come within our remit in the ordinary course of events.
