Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 October 2013
274. Deputy Terence Flanagan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding measures to prevent flooding from the River Wad in Donnycarney (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41992/13]
View answerThe application for advancing flood mitigation works in the Donnycarney area of the River Wad has recently been approved by the Office of Public Works. The project is now moving forward with Dublin City Council acting as Contracting Authority and securing the necessary landowner consents. The OPW will be carrying out the main elements of the mitigation works as agent of the Council using its own labour force. The required materials and equipment are currently being procured and it is expected that works will commence before the end of the year.
