Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. Roche)

I understand that drainage works were carried out in Allenwood, County Kildare, in 2003 by the Office of Public Works as agents for Kildare County Council. My Department had no function in these works nor is it in any discussions with the council about them.
