Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

My officials advise that the Office of Public Works is not providing any funding for the works at Clontarf to which you refer. These works are being funded entirely by Dublin City Council (DCC) under the S2S project and the Council is best placed to provide the most up to date information and details on progress with those works.
