My Department provided approval in principle in March 2010 to proceed with the scheme in question under the Remedial Works Programme. Following public consultations, Meath County Council submitted design layout proposals to my Department in May 2011. Following further discussions, my Department approved these proposals in September 2011, raising no objection to the project proceeding to the Part VIII planning stage. The Council was also requested to respond to a number of outstanding queries, and Department is now awaiting further correspondence from the Council with regard to this project.
