An allocation of €1.395 million was made in April 2004 towards the construction of a civic amenity site in Drogheda, pending the submission of total estimated costs. Tenders have now been received, and, as costs are significantly greater than originally anticipated, Drogheda Borough Council is seeking additional funding. This will be considered when the council submits its report on the increased costs to the Department.
