The 2017 programme sets out where each contract stands and the expected completion dates. For instance, the Dunkellin river relief scheme in County Galway has been talked about since 1940. Construction work started on it this year. It will take three seasons to get the work done because there is a certain amount that can only be done at different times. The list of schemes sets out each one at construction phase at the start of the year. They are on target to be completed as per the schedule, but that is the easiest part. It is in getting machines on the ground that there are delays.
