Statement by the Chief Executive, Michael Walsh,

Waterford City and County Council

On North Quays SDZ

I am pleased to advise that after some lengthy discussions the objections to the North Quays Strategic Development Zone have been withdrawn. This will allow the SDZ Scheme to proceed as presented, which is an excellent outcome for Waterford. I would like to thank everyone who has supported the SDZ and the staff and advisors who have worked very hard to bring the SDZ Scheme to this stage.

Michael Walsh,

Chief Executive,

Waterford City and County Council
