Capital Expenditure Programme
Dail Éireann — 2022-06-16
============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

I do not have the full details of that project in front of me, but if the Deputy provides them to me, I will have them looked into and try to give her a proper assessment and summary of where the project stands. In essence, the line Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with the PSC. My Department has a role in overseeing the process. Formal approval for major projects has to be given by the Government at a number of decision gates. Where a preliminary business case is referred to my Department for assessment, I have ensured in all cases that it is dealt with expeditiously. The line Department is responsible for ensuring compliance with the PSC and taking a project through the various stages, and if my Department can assist in any way, we will do so.
I am happy to revert to the Deputy with a specific update on the timeline and what role my Department has played to date, if any. I would be happy to check that out for her.
