Written answers

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Agency has completed an initial review and has commissioned Consulting Engineers to prepare a detailed remediation/improvement design in line with current lighting standard requirements. The tender for capital improvement works and the co-ordination of the improvement works is in line with public procurement procedures. I understand from the Agency that, in line with public procurement procedures, the tender for the consultant was issued in December 2013. I am informed that the proposed main works tender is being designed in detail and will issue as soon as possible.
