Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 September 2014
351. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the position regarding works on land (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33344/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Office of Public Works is continuing to carry out repair works on damaged flood defences on the River Maine Scheme following the serious storms that took place in the region in January and February of this year. Given the extent of works required and the limitations of available resources, works are prioritised and carried out on a planned phased basis.
I am advised that OPW engineers have visited Ballmacpierce but not, as yet, the property of the Flemmings. An inspection of this property will take place as soon as possible and, should repair works be required to flood defences, they will be carried out as soon as is practicable.
