The sum referred to is largely in respect of projects which were part of the Ballymun regeneration programme and which are at ‘final account’ stage. My Department has been working with Dublin City Council to resolve outstanding balances on these projects so that all appropriate budgetary amounts claimed in respect of approved projects can be processed as soon as possible.
My Department is currently finalising determinations of final accounts on a number of the larger Ballymun regeneration projects and will meet with Dublin City Council shortly on the matter. A number of further final accounts and other supporting material are awaited from the Council.
