Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

With regard to the flood relief works, from the north of Sandymount Strand to Sean Moore Park, a draft Service Requirements document for Sandymount Coastal Flood Defence Scheme Phase 2 was forwarded by Dublin City Council (DCC) to the Office of Public Works (OPW) on 7 June 2022.

OPW was requested to review the document in respect of the technical elements contained therein and to provide comment and recommendations back to DCC. All other documents, connected with the Service Requirements for Sandymount Coastal Flood Defence Scheme Phase 2, were being reviewed by DCC themselves.

The OPW review is currently ongoing and it is intended that a meeting be held with DCC, following the conclusion of this review, to discuss and agree the next steps.
