Penalties may be needed as gorey town park project costs rise once again

The initial estimate for the project was €1.2 million when first proposed but it's feared that rising costs could see the final price stand at over €3 million. The Fianna Fail representative says he's in favour of having measures to make sure contractors stick within the budgets available to them: [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Joe-Sullivan.wav"][/audio]
