View answerThe Office of Public Works met with officials from Kildare County Council earlier this month. The county council confirmed that a report has been commissioned in relation to flooding at Leixlip and this will be forwarded to OPW for consideration in due course.
Kildare County Council will also revert to the OPW in relation to a number of issues that need to be resolved so that the planned work on the Morrell River can be completed. The county council also agreed to consider the need for additional information on the proposed flood relief measures at Ardclough.
