Averil Power (Fianna Fail)

I thank the Minister of State. He said the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, stated the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, agreed to investigate the matter with the former Department, and that the latter Department subsequently raised the issue with the former. It does not outline the nature of the response, evaluation or investigation or whether the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform is actually satisfied. The report just states the issue was raised. I ask the Minister of State to seek clarification from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform that he is satisfied with the value-for-money review of the plant on foot of the investigation. A significant amount of taxpayers' money is to be spent and the project deserves oversight by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
