Who would be doing this work if the tender hasn't been awarded yet? Or is it related to the advance works which I thought were finished? It's interesting to note that the yard Wills Bros had rented from a local farmer to store their equipment during the advance works is still being used by them.... Are they a shoe-in to get the tender I wonder

N4 probably up in lights to emphasise just how much the govt cares about the NW..... Encouragingly - the updated capital project tracker published by DPER in September has 2019 down as the start date for the Ballyvourney-Macroom scheme (previously 2020). Flipside of the same coin, the same tracker has 2018 down as the start date for the N4 scheme. Project Ireland 2040 / NDP 2018-2027 / Budget 2019 / DPER project tracker … a lot of announcements and start dates now getting very muddled.
