277. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the status of a planned flood relief scheme (details supplied) in County Cork; the stage of the project; when it is due to move to construction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1114/19]
View answerI am advised that the Douglas flood relief scheme (incl Togher culvert) is being progressed by Cork County Council. The scheme has received planning approval and is currently at detailed design stage with procurement of the civil works contractor to take place in the first quarter of this year, with the appointment of the civil works contractor to follow shortly thereafter. Construction of the scheme is proposed to commence in the third quarter of 2019.
