Amharc ar fhreagraWaterways Ireland have informed me that planning is at an advanced stage to bring this project to tender in the Autumn of 2018 and funding has been allocated from its capital programme to commence works with site preparation and material purchase in 2018, subject to a successful tender process.
Capital funding is allocated by this department to Waterways Ireland on an annual basis and this has increased by €900,000 in 2017 to a total allocation of €3,580,000 in 2018.
The estimate of cost to complete the works in 2019 is being finalised. The final figures will be confirmed upon completion of the procurement process.
