Ms Katherine Licken:

Yes. Cork City Council then came back with an additional funding request of a further €10 million from the Department. It did a cost-benefit analysis, which went to our colleagues at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. There were some queries over it and it came back. The local authority has now come back with a revised cost-benefit analysis and we are looking at it now.
