The total expenditure by my Department on the remediation project ongoing at Haulbowline Island, including all claims to be reimbursed to Cork County Council before 31 December 2016, will come to €9,020,829.  The principal project in 2017 will be the remediation of the East Tip on Haulbowline Island.  Cork County Council is acting as my Agent to oversee the remediation works.  On 26 July this year the Council issued a request for tenders for all permanent and temporary works associated with the design and construction of the Haulbowline Island East Tip Remediation Project which closed on 10 October.  I am advised by the Council that the evaluation of those tenders, while at an advanced stage, is not yet concluded and the outcome of that process will be a significant factor in determining an accurate estimate of expenditure on the project for 2017.
