Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Meath County Council expects to appoint consultants shortly with a view to designing a feasible, cost-beneficial flood relief solution for the Northlands Estate.

In the interim, it is planned that the Office of Public Works will carry out maintenance work on the channel in the estate on behalf of the Council before the end of this year.
