Question:

149 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Finance if funding has been earmarked and is guaranteed for all future phases of the Munster Blackwater flood alleviation scheme in Mallow and Fermoy, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9723/09]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Deputy Martin Mansergh)

The flood alleviation schemes in Mallow and Fermoy are funded from the provision for such works in the National Development Plan, which is adequate to cover all future phases of the schemes. The ongoing availability of funds is of course subject to overall budgetary considerations.
