The Minister for Finance has now formally confirmed the Munster Blackwater (Fermoy North) Drainage Scheme as required by the Arterial Drainage Acts. Following a direction from the Department of Finance, the Office of Public Works is in the process of re-tendering for a Civil Engineering Contractor for the Scheme works under the new (fixed-price) Government conditions of contract for construction works. OPW hopes to appoint a contractor early in 2009, with construction works to commence shortly after that appointment.
