Please see below the information requested in tabular form:
| Estimated full Project Cost | Current Status | Construction Start Date | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Glashaboy FRS | c. €13.9m | Confirmation Stage - awaiting Confirmation | Expected Q3 2021 |
| Blackpool FRS | c. €20.5m | Confirmation Stage - awaiting Confirmation | Expected in first half of 2021 |
| Enniscorthy FRS | c. €50m | Confirmation Stage - awaiting Confirmation | Expected in second half of 2021 |
In relation to the Enniscorthy Scheme a request for tender of services for environmental consultants is currently being progressed by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The public consultation phase is also due to be commenced by DPER shortly.
For all schemes it should be noted that estimated costs are based on current design and are pre-tender estimates and therefore subject to change. Once each scheme is Confirmed, the detailed design will be completed and a tender competition held to appoint a works contractor. It is hoped that construction will commence on all three schemes in 2021.
