Flooding is a topical issue at the moment and it will always happen with the rainfall levels we get. One area that concerns me is my own area of south Galway which saw massive flooding in 1995 and 2009. Flood relief works have been carried out to alleviate the risks in some of the larger towns in the area. The Kiltiernan-Ballinderreen area has suffered from bad flooding in the past but its scheme has yet to be improved. The OPW does cost-benefit analyses of projects. How are these conducted? What details are used for these analyses?
