Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian Hayes)

The Office of Public Works (OPW) mobilised staff last week to this area, where it has statutory responsibility for maintenance of embankments. OPW will prioritise the repair of breached embankments at Ardcanaght and Garrane first. Embankments from Keel to Shanakeale will be addressed in due course.
