Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 29 September 2010
459 Deputy John O’Mahony asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money spent by his Department for flood alleviation to cope with last winter’s flooding; the locations at which the moneys were spent; the type of work carried out; if any drainage schemes are currently under way in the worst affected areas; if so the locations of same; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32890/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn 2009 the Office of Public Works introduced the Minor Flood Works scheme to assist Local Authorities to address localised flood problems where a solution had been identified or could be readily identified. A total of € 11.434m has been allocated under the scheme in 2010 to date on foot of applications from Local Authorities, most of which relate to locations affected by flooding last winter. Details of the locations and the types of measures involved are given as follows. A small number of other applications are being considered, and further applications are being received on an ongoing basis. It is a matter for the Local Authorities to progress the mitigation measures in each case.
In addition, the OPW has recently initiated the process of undertaking major flood relief schemes on the Dunkellin and Clare Rivers in County Galway which are estimated to cost €4m and €8m respectively and have initiated a feasibility study at Bandon in County Cork. This is in addition to a number of major flood relief schemes in progress across the country, where in many cases the initial phase has already been completed with positive benefits.
