Written answers

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

Consultants have been appointed by Arklow Town Council, with funding from OPW, to produce an Engineering Feasibility Report and OPW is in the process of appointing a consultant to produce an Environmental Impact Assessment. It is expected that these reports, which will establish whether an economically and environmentally acceptable scheme is possible, will be completed early in 2007.
