Written Answers. - Flood Relief.
Phases I and II of the Feale-Cashen study have been completed and the reports placed in the Oireachtas Library. One of the recommendations contained in the phase II report, was the implementation of an aerial study of the area. This survey has now been completed. The data compiled during the survey will be processed over a two year period and will include, inter alia, the calibration of a computerised model of the river and estuary. This work, which will culminate in a full project report, should be completed by the end of the year 2000 when the engineering alternatives for alleviating flooding should be apparent.
