Ceist:130 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Finance the response, if any, of the Office of Public Works as requested by Limerick County Council to prepare and carry out a scheme to alleviate flooding in Shanagolden. [13534/99]
Written Answers. - Flood Relief Schemes.
The resources of my office are fully committed to advancing to completion the schemes on their current priority list of urban flood relief schemes. My office is aware of approximately 300 areas where periodic flooding occurs throughout the country. It was only requested to examine the flooding problems in Shanagolden, County Limerick by Limerick County Council at the beginning of this month.
Because resources are fully committed the Office of Public Works has no plans to prepare or carry out a scheme for flood alleviation in Shanagolden, County Limerick.
