Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 February 2022
265. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if the OPW has received an application from Cork County Council in respect of repair works to the sea wall at Roches Point, Cork. [5909/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised it is a matter for Local Authorities in the first instance to assess and address problems of coastal erosion in their areas. Where necessary, Local Authorities may put forward proposals to relevant central Government Departments, including the Office of Public Works, for funding of appropriate measures, under the OPW's Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal protection Scheme, depending on the infrastructure or assets under threat. I am advised that there is no application on hand, under this Minor Works scheme for the location mentioned in the Deputy’s question.
