Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 March 2022
183. Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question No. 112 of 25 January 2022; if the construction phase of the Midleton Water Rock Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund is still expected to commence in the first quarter of 2022.; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12086/22]
View answerCork County Council has confirmed that the most economically advantageous tenderer for the Local
Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) Infrastructure Project construction works has been identified following a two stage tender process.
Pre-contract correspondence is ongoing between Cork County Council and the most economically advantageous tenderer.
I am informed that while Cork County Council has not yet issued a “Letter of Acceptance” which would form a contract, “Advance Clearance Works” within the construction phase of the LIHAF Project were commenced on 7 February 2022 and have been completed. These works were completed as a joint initiative by Cork County Council and the LIHAF landowners and will enable commencement of the main contract works without delay.
I understand that every effort continues to be made by Cork County Council to ensure all requirements are satisfied such that the most economically advantageous tender can be accepted and the LIHAF works commence next month.
