Cork water projects may be delayed

Co Cork’s most senior engineer has warned that a number of projects earmarked by Irish Water to be completed by 2016 may not be done.

County engineer David Keane told a meeting of councillors in West Cork that Irish Water had three categories listed for water and sewerage schemes in the region.

He said that category A and B scheme were likely to be completed within the timeframe, but expressed concern that C schemes “could eventually fall off the list”.
