View answerThe project referred to in the question is being developed and managed by Cork City Council and the Council is responsible for the delivery of the project.
On 27 September 2017, Cork City Council made an application to my Department for a further grant of €10 million to assist in the development of the project. My Department is now assessing this application.
There are complex legal, state aid and match funding issues to be considered in relation to this application and my Department is engaging with the City Council in relation to these.
