Colm Burke (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I acknowledge both the Minister of State and his Department and, indeed, Cork City Council for the work they have done. It needs to be ensured timelines are clearly set out in order that we can get on with it. I appreciate the work that has been done to date. It is unfortunate that inflation caught up with the council when the first round of the project was first advertised for tenders to be submitted. It needs to be given priority now, as it has been two years. It should be awarded hopefully within the next two to three months so that the council can get on with the project.
