A Remedial Works Scheme application in relation to the estate in question was received on 3 November 2008 and, following the initial evaluation of all proposals received from local authorities, my Department has informed Kildare County Council that it is favourably disposed towards the proposal and would like to have it progressed under the Remedial Works Scheme Programme for 2009. The progression of this and similar proposals will be contingent on certain details of design, costing and phasing being reviewed and agreed with my Department and the overall level of funding available.

My Department will be in touch with the Council shortly to outline what is required to advance the project in 2009.
