Public Accounts Committee

2022 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works

9:30 am

Mr. John Conlon:

As the Deputy knows, our input into this particular project is from the point of view of the OPW providing the architectural service, project management, procurement, etc. As regards the funding for this site, I am not aware that it is in the NDP envelopes going forward. As the Deputy knows, this site and project have been an ongoing issue for quite a number of years. As regards NDP allocations over that period, because it was not certain to go ahead, it was, as far as I am aware, not provided in any envelope in the NDP allocation. I think the future funding of this will be subject to future Estimates discussions between the promoters and the Government.
