Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of Arterial Drainage Schemes and catchment drainage schemes designated under the Arterial Drainage Acts of 1945 and 1995. From the information provided by the Deputy, it would appear that the river channel forms part of the River Brosna Arterial Drainage Scheme for which the OPW has maintenance responsibility.

This channel is scheduled for maintenance works by the OPW in 2022.
