Works on Nenagh Water's Supply and Wastewater System will begin in July

Posted on June 01, 2015 by Alan Kelly

I can confirm that major works on Nenagh's water supply and wastewater system will begin next month.

I announced in July last year that the contract for the new gas line into Nenagh had been signed at an investment of approximately €8.5 million. This new energy source will make Nenagh much more competitive for investment thereby creating and maintaining jobs. I expect the gas line to be turned on for Arrabawn Co-op in the coming weeks and then rolled out over 14 kilometres across the town.

The funding comes from a financial package secured for such shelters by myself prior to leaving the role of Minister for Public Transport. The National Transport Authority has written to Tipperary County Council informing them of the availability of funding.
