Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Fish Migration and Barriers to Migration: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Cian ? D?naill:
The OPW is responsible for maintaining 11,500 km of channel and approximately 800 km of flood defence embankments, most of which are on estuaries. It is done in a cycle. In general, we maintain just over 2,000 km per year. That is done under section 37 of the Arterial Drainage Act. It is a statutory obligation.
