Special Report No. 92 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Strategic Planning for Flood Risk Management

9:10 am

Ms Clare McGrath:

I am sorry, I do not think I understand the Deputy's question. We learned from the pilots that we had not costed correctly. The budget for the delivery of the CFRAM plan is €30 million plus VAT. That is the project budget within which I am saying we will deliver the entire CFRAM programme. There has not been a reduction. The Government announcement last December is in regard to the implementation of those plans, the cost of which is estimated to be €430 million to 2021.
