Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will reread my prepared statement to be precise. I referred to the scale of the project and the fact the required defences are far greater, given we are now dealing with 940 properties rather than 312. I also mentioned hydrology, the further tests that are required regarding the impact of waves and the fact the scheme will protect more than three times as many properties. The best estimated cost for the scheme at this time is in the region of €50 million.
