Question:

236 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if he will allocate sufficient funds to allow long term works to commence to provide a solution to the flooding at Mornington when the consultants report has been presented to Meath County Council; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4717/04]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The report on proposed measures for dealing with flooding in Mornington was received by the Office of Public Works from Meath County Council on the 12 February 2004. An environmental impact statement is currently being prepared. Until such time as these reports have been examined no decision can be made in relation to the feasibility or, indeed, the funding of works at Mornington.
