Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The appointment of consultants to advance the flood relief element of the Ennis main drainage and flooding study will be subject to an EU tender competition. Tender documents for this competition will be completed within the next few weeks. Public consultation about any proposed works would form part of the brief for consultants.
