Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 June 2009
96 Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if the Office for Public Works will give due consideration to the funding and rebuilding of a boundary wall (details supplied) in Dublin 11 destroyed during torrential flooding in August 2008. [22108/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of Public Works has responsibility for river flooding and coastal erosion. The storm water flooding that caused the demolition of the boundary wall in the area mentioned during the floods in August 2008 does not fall under that Office of Public Works remit, as it was neither fluvial nor coastal flooding. Therefore, the issue of funding for any works in this instance is not a matter for the Office of Public Works.
