However, KCC said not date is available because it is progressing two large projects at present -  the Maynooth eastern ring road  and the Celbridge Hazelhatch mobility corridor and “the limited resources in the team have been allocated to progress both projects in turn.”

KCC says it hopes to complete a review of the documents submitted by the consultants as quickly as possible and a safe can be provided after that.
