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

Mr. Mark Griffin:

It is a fixed price with no additions. The original figure was €2.977 billion, including VAT. We had a VAT decision from Revenue which is €2.7 billion. That brought the figure back down to €2.7 billion. That includes contingency pots. That is the capped maximum. As NBI said at the committee on 15 September, anything over and above that in terms of the cost of the project, if it ever got to that point, would be a matter for NBI to fund.
