Vol. 473 No. 4
204 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the new drainage works, diversions and others carried out by the Office of Public Works in the Phoenix Park, adjacent to Chapelizod, Dublin 20; if any culvert is used to carry water from the park in the vicinity of Martin's Row, or under Martin's Row, Chapelizod; and if any of these works have contributed to flooding at several locations in Chapelizod in recent months. [1426/97]
Over the past number of months works have been carried out to a number of culverts which outfall from the Phoenix Park through Martin's Row and Chapelizod to the Liffey in an endeavour to reduce the potential for flooding both inside and outside the park wall. While I understand that there has been no flooding in the location since these works have been carried out, investigative works are ongoing to see if further improvements could be achieved.
Any such works will continue to be carried out in consultation with the representatives of local residents groups.
