Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 July 2018
2789. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht when restoration works will commence on a weir (details supplied); when it is proposed that the works will conclude; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [33417/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraWaterways Ireland has informed me that work is at an advanced stage in the preparations for tendering the work at Meelick Weir.
Site investigation work has been commissioned and a report on the works will be made shortly.
It is expected that the tender documentation will issue in early autumn 2018 and Waterways Ireland anticipate there will be expenditure in 2018, subject to a successful procurement exercise.
There is the potential with favourable weather conditions that the work could be completed in one year but provision is being made for it to take place across a two year period if required.
