Flood Relief Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-09
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

She probably has a good update then. When approved, the steering group will publish the updated steering programme to the project website shortly thereafter. It may be worth noting that The Connacht Tribune in early March 2024 published an article stating that the planning for this scheme was now delayed to 2027. Given that the preferred option for the scheme is not yet confirmed, the programme of the timeline associated with planning approved and construction is difficult to define at this juncture. This will be subject to ongoing review throughout the development of the scheme, the planning consent process, details on construction and the tendering stage. The Deputy met with Galway City Council on Friday, 10 May. In the OPW, we understand the complexity and the main challenges associated with the scheme.
