    Government To Review Feasibility Study On Avoca Mines In South Wicklow

    The Government is to review and update a feasibility study on the Avoca Mines in South Wicklow.

    Since 2008 more than €5 million has been spent on remediation and monitoring costs at the site.

    However the study has been stalled in recent years due to a lack of funding.

    Following a parliamentary question from Wicklow TD Jennifer Whitmore, Minister of State Ossian Smyth says funding has been secured to proceed with the study.
