Written answers

The details requested will be available in the Revised Estimates for Public Services 2010 which, I understand, the Minister for Finance intends to publish next month.

Simon Coveney

Question:

500 Deputy Simon Coveney asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the position regarding a site (details supplied) in County Cork; the amount that has been spent on this site in the past two and a half years per month by his Department in tabular form; the amount that will be spent on the site in 2010 as set aside in his budget for 2010; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3441/10]

View answer

As previously advised, the Government has decided that the Office of Public Works will chair a working group to develop a structured and coherent approach to the further management and development of the site. The establishment of this group is a matter for the OPW and I understand that the Terms of Reference of the group are currently being finalised.

Future funding requirements are contingent on determination as to the future use of the site. However, a sum of €100,000 has been set aside in respect of the costs of normal care and maintenance, utilities, monitoring, wages and small service contracts. Payments are made on the basis of invoices submitted, and these invoices can relate to works that straddle different months or years depending on the timing of their submission. Accordingly the invoiced amounts in the table below relate to the months in which the payments were made which will not necessarily correspond to the months in which the works or services were undertaken.
