Work is nearing completion by the scheme consultants on the detailed design work required to finalise the documents for submission to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform for formal Confirmation or approval of the Scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act 1945.

Some delay has been experienced in relation to further necessary site investigative works which required specific favourable weather conditions which had to be waited for.

It is now envisaged that the proposed scheme will be submitted for Confirmation in early 2020. Subject to this confirmation process and procurement of a contractor, it is hoped that construction will still commence in the second half of 2020.
