Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 31 May 2022
837. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if a consultant has been appointed for the deep-water quay at Ros a Mhíl; if the timeline and key milestones for the development have been agreed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28097/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am happy to advise that my Department has procured the services of consulting engineers and the detailed design for the Deep Water Quay Project is underway. Additionally, the consulting engineers will manage the tender process for construction works, supervise the construction works, and in due course handover completed construction works back to my Department. Until the consultant's work has been undertaken, the timeline or key milestones for the development cannot be specified. My Department will be advised by the consulting engineers on the schedule of the different elements of the project including the dredging and construction works. However, my Department will be working closely with the consultant to progress the development.
