QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

B1001  The Admin costs for the roads Capital Programme is very high, why and is this recoverable?  What happens if there is a lesser level of activity and funding?  Whats the ratio?

REPLY:

At present the costs associated with B1001 are in the region of €1 million. Of this €300,000 is recouped through allowed salary chargeability in respect of funded NTA and NRA schemes. A lesser level of funding and activity means less staff are required to work on capital programme works and salary costs cannot be recouped. The ratio at present is 3:1
