Question:

365. Deputy Kevin O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if his attention has been drawn to an ongoing problem of flooding in a location (details supplied) in County Cork following flood relief measures being put in place; if the resolution of this problem will be pursued; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27029/17]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

I am advised that Cork County Council is investigating the problem at this location in the first instance as the flooding may be due to a collapsed drainage culvert in the vicinity of this location rather than any connection to the flood relief scheme. The problem will be addressed appropriately by the relevant body when the exact cause of the problem is identified.
