Mr. John McDonagh:

To give an example, there are effectively 27 claims being managed by the State Claims Agency in the eastern region. The eastern region would cover the operational areas of the Barrow navigation, the Barrow line, the Grand Canal main line, the Naas branch of the Grand Canal, the Grand Canal docks in Dublin, the Royal Canal main line, the Longford branch and the Spencer Dock. It is over 400 km of navigation and 250 km of greenways and blueways. That is just an example of a plethora of claims in that particular area. There are 27 claims being managed by the State Claims Agency totalling €9.2 million. .
