As outlined in response to the previous Questions referred to, the management and implementation of the development in question is a matter for Wicklow County Council and its contractors.  My Department is not directly involved in the detailed implementation of the project.  The quarterly meetings held between the Local Authorities and my Department are technical housing delivery meetings with a focus on architectural/quantity surveying issues arising on the projects as submitted by each Local Authority.  While a wide range of issues relating to these projects will be covered at these meetings, the resolution of the issues in relation to the specific project referred to remains the responsibility of the parties to the contract, those being the local authority and the contractors in question.
