Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-15
============================================================

Brendan Smith (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

In 2009 the OPW introduced the minor flood mitigation works. These enabled local authorities to carry out flood mitigation works to address localised flooding. As has been said, these schemes have been extremely beneficial. There is a good return on public investment. They are turned around in a short time. It is a scheme that merits increased funding on the basis that it addresses local issues and also ensures a good return on public investment.
