QUESTION NO. 1

QUESTION: Councillor Yvonne Collins

To ask the Chief Executive for an update in relation to the Whitechurch Flood Alleviation Scheme

REPLY:

Following an appeal made to the Supreme Court by the Ballyboden Tidy Towns Group on a High Court judgement delivered on the scheme in January 2022, the Whitechurch Stream Flood Alleviation Scheme is currently awaiting a judgement from the Supreme Court hearing which was held on June 23rd 2022. The judgement is expected to be delivered in October 2022.

If the judgement delivered is in favour of the FAS, it is envisaged that the scheme will start in Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 with an estimated 18 month construction programme.
