The Office of Public Works is responsible only for the approval of programmes of works and the disbursement to local authorities of the funding allocated by Government for repair of damage to public coastal protection infrastructure. The Departments of the Environment, Community and Local Government, Transport, Tourism and Sport and Agriculture, Food and the Marine are responsible for the approval of programmes of work and the disbursement of funding for repair of other damaged public infrastructure such as roads, piers, harbours and other community facilities and amenities.

The following table lists the locations of 176 projects included in the programmes of works submitted by local authorities to the Office of Public Works and approved by the OPW on foot of the Government Decision of 11 February, 2014, which allocated funding of up to €19.6 million for coastal protection repair works following the coastal storm flood damage from 13 December, 2013 to 6 January, 2014 based on estimates provided by the local authorities.

The prioritisation and progression of projects is entirely a matter for the local authorities concerned, and they would be best placed to provide the up to date position in relation to each project.
