Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 February 2019
191. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if funding has been ring-fenced for the flood prevention scheme in Glanmire, County Cork and will not be affected in view of the reallocation of funds from his Department for the national children's hospital; if the timeframe for agreed works will be honoured with no delay resulting due to the reallocation of funds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8175/19]
View answerArising from the Government decision of Tuesday 12th February 2019 in relation to capita l reallocations related to the cost overrun on the National Childrens hospital, the Office of Public Works is reviewing the most appropriate means of achieving the required capital savings of €3 million in the flood risk management area. Expenditure on any particular project or programme in any year is dependent on many variables related to the progress of the project and programme. The OPW can state that all capital projects committed to will be delivered.
