I propose to take Questions Nos. 175, 176, 178 and 188 to 205, inclusive, together.
The following table sets out the position with regard to the flood relief schemes referred to in the Deputy's questions. These schemes are being advanced by both the Office of Public Works and the relevant Local Authorities and are at various stages of design and implementation. It would not be feasible to detail all the various works elements involved in the construction of these schemes. However, all the schemes have many of the construction works elements common to most flood relief schemes including reinforced walls, earthen embankments, culverts, dredging, pumping and other associated drainage components.
