Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 19 January 2022
2032. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the progress regarding the upgrading of Dinish Pier, Castletownbere, County Cork; the reason construction has stalled; and the expected completion date. [2565/22]
View answerSorensen Civil Engineering Ltd. was appointed on 26 July 2021 to complete the upgrade works of Dinish Pier and these works are progressing well. As the Deputy has previously been advised, a former contractor entered into voluntary examinership leading to my Department terminating that contract on 22 October 2020. Subsequently the Department had to re-tender the works which ultimately led to the current contractor's appointment. I am happy to confirm that the works are not stalled and are scheduled for completion in Q2 2022.
