Hildegarde Naughton (FG), Galway West

A scope of works and associated costs for the green space have been received by my Department for the proposed works to provide access to that green area. On initial review, it is the Department's recommendation that a cost-effective solution be considered and resubmitted for further consideration. Once the scope works and the cost to provide the access and entrance are agreed, procurement of a contractor to complete the works can be undertaken. Until the scope works are agreed, it is just not possible to give a timeline for completion, but the commitment is there to work with the schools on this. On completion of the works, my Department intends that the lands will be handed over to Cork Education and Training Board to be managed and maintained.
