QUESTION NO.14

QUESTION: Councillor P. Gogarty

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the restarted tender process for the 12th Lock to Hazelhatch Canal route and to indicate the likely opening month after completion of works?

REPLY:

To advance to the stage of re-tendering the project, agreement on all aspects of the project and provision of licences by Waterways Ireland to carry out the works is required. Engagement on the matter is ongoing and it is expected that the project should be re-advertised for a contractor towards the end of this year. Construction commencement in late quarter 1 2024 would mean project completion by early 2025.
