All projects costing over €20m are subject to appraisal and evaluation (including review of a detailed business case) under the Public Spending Code. The project recommended following the outcome of studies currently underway will be subject to review in my Department and in the Department of Public Expenditure & Reform before a final decision is  made.

Any decision on the timeline for delivery would be premature at this stage pending  the outcome of the studies and identification of the preferred project. 

However the projected cost of the selected project, funding availability and funding options will be a key determinant on timing of delivery.
