Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications
Chapter 9 - Remediation of Landfill Sites

9:30 am

Mr. Mark Griffin:

For 2021, the amount paid is €89.8 million. The contract milestones were achieved but against a backdrop of a remedial plan that we agreed with NBI on foot of discussions with it, including the difficulties experienced with Covid-19 and the change request put in place in that regard. I ask Mr. Mulligan to comment on how we have settled on a new set of milestones for 2021, the basis for that and the process followed in arriving at that outcome.
