A draft final report in relation to flooding on the Clare River, including the Caherlea and Lisheenvalla areas, was submitted by the study consultants on 25 June. The draft report is currently being examined by the Joint Office of Public Works and Galway County Council Working Group and it is expected that it will be finalised next week. I expect to receive the conclusions of the Working Group in relation to the mitigation works recommended in the final report shortly thereafter. I would like to re-iterate my commitment, and that of the Government, to providing the resources required to implement the necessary flood mitigation measures in this area.
