  Deputy Martin Mansergh: Documents relating to the construction of the Munster Blackwater (Fermoy North) Drainage Scheme have been issued to the pre-qualified contractors by the Office of Public Works. At the request of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, the tender documents have included works to Fermoy Weir. Before a successful contractor is appointed, OPW will, in consultation with the Department, make a decision on whether these works will be included in the contract or not. This will depend on agreement being reached between the Department [933] of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Fermoy Town Council on the proposals for the Weir.
