Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

Earlier this year, the Office of Public Works, OPW, was unable to complete maintenance work on Channel C1-37-10 arising from environmental concerns.

The OPW has been in contact with the landowner in question and informed him that works on the channel bed are scheduled to commence in May 2018 as part of OPW’s ongoing maintenance programme in that area.
