The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of arterial drainage schemes and flood relief schemes completed under the Arterial Drainage Acts, 1945 and 1995, as amended. Each year, the OPW prepares an annual arterial drainage maintenance programme for each region that identifies the proposed maintenance locations within each arterial drainage scheme catchment area.
Under the annual programme of maintenance in 2022, officials from the OPW carried out maintenance in the Drumelihy area. The OPW has maintenance works planned for the Creegh Arterial Drainage Scheme for 2023.
The OPW wrote to the person concerned in October 2022 and asked that they make contact with the South West Regional Office to enable officials to investigate the issue of concern.
