QUESTION NO.11

QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

To ask the Chief Executive for a timeframe for the construction of the Greenway along the Grand Canal between the 12th Lock and Hazelhatch?

REPLY:

Delays in progressing the scheme have arisen in relation to securing Licences from Waterways Ireland for the lands required for construction. This has led to some elements of redesign of the scheme, relating only to the installation of underground infrastructure. It is now hoped that the scheme will be re-tendered later this year and that construction will get underway by late spring 2024.
