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

Mr. Jim Casey:

Correct, and the OPW designs schemes to address both fluvial or river flooding and coastal flooding in the case of Skibbereen but not to address pluvial flooding or flooding arising from inadequacies of the drainage system. That would be a matter for the local authority.
