Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 June 2005
133 Ms Enright asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to a flooding problem in the charge of the Office of Public Works at the home of a person (details supplied) in County Offaly; when the brook, which appears to be causing the flooding, will be cleaned; when work will be carried out on the brook in order that the problem does not recur; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18791/05]
View answerThe brook in question is a channel of the River Brosna catchment drainage scheme, which was designed primarily to provide outfall to deal with the flooding of agricultural land. The brook is scheduled for maintenance next year. An engineer from the Office of Public Works will conduct an inspection in the next few weeks in order to establish the extent, if any, to which the condition of the brook may be contributing to the flooding of the house in question.
