QUESTION NO.19

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committee requests the Chief Executive to provide an update on the canal upgrade from the 12th Lock to Kildare, including a detailed report on the project timelines and any delays that have occurred to date.

REPLY:

A contractor will be appointed for this project before the end of November 2024. Construction will commence in early 2025 and will be completed within the year. Whilst the project has had Part 8 approval for a number of years, it has been delayed due to ongoing collaboration with Waterways Ireland to reach agreement on the detail of the scheme.
