Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government (Deputy Phil Hogan)

My Department was made aware of unauthorised works undertaken at Reenydonegan Lake and has sought a proposal for remedial works from the parties involved. The issue of funding for any work to be undertaken is a matter to be addressed by the parties involved.
