Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 July 2006
192 Mr. Costello asked the Minister for Finance the progress on works undertaken to secure the Tolka River against flooding; the amount of work that has been completed; the work which remains to be completed; when the entire work will be completed. [26872/06]
Amharc ar fhreagraFlood relief works on the River Tolka are in the main being undertaken by the Commissioners of Public Works on behalf of the three local authorities concerned, Fingal and Meath County Councils and Dublin City Council. I take it the question relates to works in the Dublin City Council area.
Most of the major works planned have been completed at this stage. Works to strengthen the wall upstream of Glasnevin Bridge and to widen the channel at Griffith Park are continuing. Some minor pointing of the wall at East Wall Road will be completed this summer.
The report referred to in my reply to the Deputy's question on 25th April has not been received yet. Some minor works may be carried out in the vicinity of Finglas Weir.
