As the Deputy will be aware, Galway County Council is the contracting authority on this project. I understand that the construction work is ongoing and, accordingly, the total cost of the project is not yet known. My Department allocated a total grant of €44,092,411 towards the project and to date €42,574,122 of this grant has been paid. Galway County Council contributed €190,000 to the project. In addition, there was a contribution of €624,250 from the RNLI.
