Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 May 2018
166. Deputy Margaret Murphy O'Mahony asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the status of flood relief works in the Ouvane River in Ballylickey, Bantry, County Cork; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22274/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Ouvane Catchment Drainage Scheme was completed by the Office of Public Works (OPW) under the 1945 Arterial Drainage Act. Extensive maintenance works on the channels in the catchment were undertaken by the OPW in the latter half of 2016 and a recent inspection of the area found the channels in proper repair and effective condition.
An application received from Cork County Council under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme for this location did not meet the scheme criteria.
