Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that a revised application under the Office of Public Works' (OPW) Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme has been received from Donegal County Council for a project at Coolyslin, Castlefinn, Lifford, Co Donegal. The assessment of the application will have regard to the fact that Castlefinn is an Area for Further Assessment under the North Western - Neagh Bann CFRAM study and that under the draft Flood Risk Management Plan the preferred option for Castlefinn includes measures to protect the property in question. The application is currently being assessed and a reply will issue to Donegal County Council shortly.
