Calls have been made for Wicklow County Council to ensure that there are no cost overruns on the planned extension to the Blessington E-Greenway.
Councillors heard during the February meeting of Baltinglass Municipal District that site walkovers over the last 12 months had found that the project required more construction work than initially anticipated. This had pushed up the estimated cost of the project from €8.5 million to €15 million.
Cllr Vincent Blake (FG) welcomed the project s progress, but expressed concerns about the increased costs. It s something in this country that we don t seem to take seriously enough and that s escalating costs .
Referring to the example of the cost overruns for the new children s hospital, Cllr Blake said: €15 million is a huge amount of money, let s ensure to come in on budget .
