Brian Hayes (Dublin South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

To be fair to Deputy Ó Caoláin, he asked a straight question and I am delighted to be able to answer it. This came from a decision in last year's budget to proceed with Oberstown, which is really important given the work we are trying to do in this area. The total bill is approximately €50 million and I am glad to inform the Deputy that construction began on 9 September.
