Written answers

Following the Government's decision to formally adopt the recommendations of the national flood policy review group, the Office of Public Works has assumed the lead role at national level for the management of flood risk and the implementation of flood relief works. Consideration may be given under my Department's water services investment programme to the inclusion, in an approved wastewater scheme, of works to prevent surcharging of surface water drains in urban areas. No proposals have been submitted to my Department by Mayo County Council in this case for consideration in that context.
