Work is to start to restore parts of the Mourne Wall in Co Down.

NI Water is currently in talks with the Northern Ireland Environment Agency (NIEA) to repair a 2.5km section of the Mourne Wall between Slieve Loughshannagh and Slieve Meelmore which is surrounded by NI Water land.

The first phase of work is expected to begin at the end of this month.

The site compound for the first section will be located on NI Water land adjacent to Fofanny Water Treatment Works and local experienced stonemasons will carry out the repairs under the management of NI Water, contractor GEDA Construction, with advice and guidance from Mourne Heritage Trust (MHT).
