Flood Risk Management
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-27
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

My question relates to flooding defence works in Galway and the absence of any progress or urgent progress in relation to the matter. Specifically, I seek an update on the status of the review of the programme of the Coirib Go Cósta flood relief scheme and the status of the revised programme. I ask that question because I was on Galway City Council previously and left in 2016. At that point, the catchment flood risk assessment and management, CFRAM, works were coming to an end. A huge amount of work was carried out by the Office of Public Works, OPW, with hundreds of maps produced. The work started in 2012. I left the council in 2016 and here we are, in 2023, with the programme being revised and reviewed but no works to date.
