Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The scaffolding at Ardara (Cadamstown) Bridge is the property of the Office of Public Works and as such is inspected and maintained in place by OPW works staff to support the project there.

The scaffolding at the Bridge is therefore included as part of the general project overhead provided from standing resources within the OPW Heritage Service and the costs associated with it are not identified separately.
