Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 February 2017
359. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will address an issue (details supplied) with regard to a tidal bank that requires emergency works; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6053/17]
View answerThe Deputy is aware from previous replies last year that repair works on damaged flood defences on the River Maine Catchment Drainage Scheme are being prioritised at locations which suffered more severe damage than at Tulligbeg. The annual programme of work for 2017 has been developed based on prioritising sites in most need of attention. The location referred to by the Deputy has not been included within this document for 2017 due to it being regarded as lower priority.
The Office of Public Works will continue to monitor the situation at this location and seek to address the work in question at the earliest possibility.
