Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of Boyne catchment drainage schemes completed under the Arterial Drainage Acts of 1945. The Borora River referred to by the deputy forms part of the Boyne Arterial Drainage Scheme. Maintenance works are scheduled on this river in 2020. If there are specific issues of maintenance to be addressed, the local community should contact the OPW regional office in Newtown, Trim, Co. Meath.
