Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

I am advised by Kildare County Council that the closing date for receipt of tenders was the 27th June 2019 and these will be assessed and evaluated over the coming days. The Council envisage that the study of flood risk in the Hazelhatch area will be completed by the end of 2019.
