Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

I thank the Minister for his response. I welcome that he will put a timeframe on this. Can he tell us when that timeframe will be set, how much the cost of the works will be and the extent of those works?

Second, on a question I put to him earlier, I have been informed this morning that the contractor is due to resume work on Monday morning. Can the Minister confirm to the House whether that is true? Given that the contractor was stopped because, to use the Department's phase, the work he was doing was piecemeal, will a different approach now be used given that it has been indicated the contractor is to resume work next Monday morning?
