The draft Final Feasibility Report for the area in question has been passed to Wexford County Council for their examination and the Environmental Assessment of Options Report will be forwarded to the Council in the next few weeks.

Subject to agreement on a preferred scheme, the preparation of a full Environmental Impact Statement and of other documents and surveys, which will be required for the public exhibition of the scheme will be undertaken. It is envisaged that the public exhibition would take place in summer 2007 and that work on a scheme could commence in the second half of 2008.
