Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

I hear Senator O'Loughlin's sincere passion for this project and I understand she wants to get a good resolution for it. I feel the same when representing anybody.
The Senator indicated that the project was already approved. I am told by the Department that projects that have already been approved are not affected. I presume this refers to an additional requirement for money, which has not yet been approved and is subject to appraisal. I think Senator O'Loughlin is asking that I go back to the Department and ask that all projects that have sought additional approval get a response within 12 months. I will ask the Minister.
