The Blackpool and Glashaboy Flood Relief Schemes are currently undergoing assessment as part of the Confirmation process of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Further information has been requested by the Minister as part of the environmental impact assessment which he is carrying out on both proposed Schemes. This information is currently being prepared and is expected to be provided to the Minister by October 2020. The Confirmation process will be concluded by the Minister in the quickest possible time frame.
In relation to the Enniscorthy Scheme a request for tender of services for environmental consultants is currently being progressed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The public consultation phase is also due to be commenced by DPER shortly.
For all schemes it should be noted that estimated costs are based on current design and are pre-tender estimates and therefore subject to change. Once each scheme is Confirmed, the detailed design will be completed and a tender competition held to appoint a works contractor. It is hoped that construction will commence on all three schemes in 2021.
