PARTY WHIPS TO MEET EXECUTIVES OVER SEAMUS QUIRKE ROAD PROJECT

Date Published: 20-Nov-2011

Two top city council officials have agreed to meet city councillors on Monday to solve the ongoing funding dilemma over the Seamus Quirke Road project.

The unprecedented meeting was called for last week, after city officials failed to reveal the cost of the overruns on the 10 million euro contract.

City councillors believe there is at least a 5 million euro gap in funding as the contractor has put in a series of claims for overruns.

Chairman of the Transportation Committee Cllr Michael Crowe says they need answers on Monday as to the exact funding shortfall and timescale of the project
