Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Kevin Boxer Moran)

I am advised that the Office of Public Works (OPW) has completed a review of the Coastal Erosion and Flood Risk Management Study of Mal Bay which includes the area of Spanish Point as submitted by Clare County Council. The OPW has recently written to the Council with its detailed comments on the study and requesting some further information.
