Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 October 2015
682. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his views on correspondence (details supplied) regarding a lack of building regulation on a number of properties at risk of destruction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36127/15]
View answerI understand that the gardens at the rear of the homes concerned are backing onto a river and are private property. I further understand that this development was examined under the Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Study for the South West Region which has concluded that there is no risk of flooding to the homes concerned. I have no function in relation to the alleged erosion of the river bank or its impact on private property ancillary to these homes.
