There is no delay on this scheme. The programme for the progression of the Munster Blackwater (Fermoy North) Drainage Scheme showed the tenders for the civil engineering contract to undertake the works being received in the middle of May. Those tenders have been received and are currently being assessed. Once a tender report has been completed, the Office of Public Works expects to issue a Letter of Intent to the successful contractor towards the end of June, with works commencing within a matter of weeks afterwards. This is in line with the programme outlined previously.
