Scheme failed to win URDF funding earlier this year.

Advancing design work on the second Liffey bridge in Newbridge could boost chances of securing funding.

The project failed to win funding under the Urban Regeneration Development Fund earlier this year.

KCC applications for funding for projects in Celbridge, Maynooth and Naas won a combined €15 million.

He says, at the time of application, the Newbridge project was not shovel-ready.


Deputy Heydon joined Clem Ryan on Tuesday's edition of the programme
