My Department engaged Atkins to review the feasibility, safety implications and cost of raising the height of the Dublin port tunnel. They were requested to review a range of options for increasing the operational height of the tunnel, their feasibility, having regard to the state of implementation of the current design and build contract and the likely additional costs and impact on the project completion date.
The final report was received from Atkins on 8 December 2003. I am currently reviewing the findings of the report and have sought further information from the NRA pertaining to its conclusions with a view to reaching a final conclusion on this issue as soon as possible.
