The project in question, which is at an early stage of development, is part of my Department's Remedial Works Programme 2009-2011. The project proposal was received in late 2008 and, following an evaluation process, approval in principle issued from my Department in February 2009.

Following a meeting between my Department and Kildare County Council on 18 November 2009, the Council agreed to review and submit further details on the design, costing and phasing of the project. Upon receipt they will be considered by my Department with a view to reaching agreement with the Council as soon as possible on a programme of works.
