Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 8 - Contract payments in respect of Convention Centre Dublin

9:30 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

Enniscorthy is at severe risk of flooding. We have been working for a long time, as the Deputy knows, to the frustration of the community, the council and everybody else because of the challenges faced there. We had a scheme ready to go in 2009 but it involved high walls along the side of the river, which is understandably unacceptable to the community, because while there is a danger to human life and property, there is a community living in the town and it is part of the infrastructure of the town.
