Capital Expenditure Programme
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-17
============================================================

Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, for all the work done on flood relief programmes. The problem I have with them is the time it takes from start to finish. One, the Glanmire flood relief project, is being done in my constituency at the moment. It is nearing completion and was very well managed by the OPW. I am concerned about the one in Blackpool, which started in 2013 and, 12 years later, the most recent part has been signed off by the OPW but not by the Department. We have been waiting for more than 12 years. It is really important for that side of Cork city because very little development can take place until it is completed.
