Where the OPW constructs a weir - I am thinking of the Kilkenny flood relief scheme, which I think is an OPW project - for a lot of the questions asked, and despite the controversy in terms of funding around the project, the Kilkenny flood relief scheme is an excellent example. I think the OPW was cutting its teeth on it as well. It is great to be able to look back on the video and see how it was constructed. It is a great piece of information and education for the members who asked questions here this morning about how to deal with all the different issues something like it throws up. I am sure the OPW learned a lot from it.
