In accordance with existing procedures there have been consultations between Drogheda Corporation and my Department's inspectorate on a proposed infill housing scheme, at Chord TerraceNun's Walk. The difficult nature of the site necessitated a number of revisions in lay-out and design and an additional house, bringing the total to eight was also included in the project.
The unit cost in the recommended tender for the scheme now submitted by Drogheda Corporation is under consideration and I hope to be in a position to convey my decision in the matter shortly.
