Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Patrick O'Donovan)

The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of Arterial Drainage Schemes completed under the Arterial Drainage Act of 1945. The embankment in Callinafercy, Milltown does not form part of an Arterial Drainage Scheme. Therefore, the OPW has no responsibility for the maintenance of the embankment and associated drainage channels.
