REPORT:

The request of the residents group to lengthen the proposed barrier has been brought to the attention of the NRA who are the clients for this PPP contract. The contractor is obliged to meet the requirements of the contract as it relates to the EIS approved by An Bord Pleanala and must comply with the necessary noise reduction requirements. The design for this portion of the scheme is not yet complete and the question of extension of same will be assessed in terms of the additional costs involved bearing in mind the overall effect of such extra cost on the contract as a whole. This matter will again be brought to the attention of the NRA.
