Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Kevin Boxer Moran)

The capital allocation for expenditure on flood relief in any year is included as a global figure in the Vote of the Office of Public Works (OPW) as part of the annual Estimates process. This amount is not broken down on a county or Local Authority basis.

The details of the OPW capital expenditure on flood relief projects, both on major schemes and Minor Works projects, from 2011 to end of November 2017 are set out in the table broken down on a county basis.

All funding approvals by year and by Local Authority under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme are available at the following link
