Minister of State at the Department of Finance (Mr. Parlon)

The Office of Public Works carried out drainage works at Allenwood in 2003 as agents for Kildare County Council. There are no proposals to carry out further works in the Allenwood area.

Kildare County Council has submitted a report on proposed flood relief works for Leixlip, County Kildare, which is now being examined by my officials in the Office of Public Works and comments and recommendations are expected in the next few weeks.
