View answerMy Department has completed one capital project over €20m since 2016.
In 2019, the project for the remediation of the East Tip, Haulbowline Island, Co. Cork under NUTS 3 Region Cork/South West IE053 was completed. My Department assumed responsibility for remediation works at Haulbowline Island in 2012.
In the period up to 2017, expenditure was focussed on preparing for and securing the necessary planning and waste licence consents, and upgrading the island infrastructure in anticipation of works. Construction work on the East Tip site commenced in October 2017 and remediation works are complete with the project now in a maintenance phase.
The total expenditure incurred by my Department (including expenditure commissioned by Cork County Council acting as my agents for the project and reimbursed through the Department) to the end of 2019 is €25,034,676.
