Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: To stick to the floodworks scheme, I have some questions and the witnesses might give concise answers. On the overall schemes, there is much frustration and disappointment about the length of time it takes to carry out surveys, studies, examination of the sites and the work on the contracts and the tenders. I am talking about the period from when the work starts to seeing the actual...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: Mr. Buckley can appreciate that almost 300 properties were flooded. Coming into the winter when there may be periods of heavy rainfall people are anticipating the worst, such as heavy rainfall coming down the from Slieve Bloom mountains. Can Mr. Buckley give me a rough idea of when work is likely to start and the length of time it will take to complete the physical works? Were it not for...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: The other scheme I want to mention is the Mountrath scheme. A scheme was put in for Mountrath and it was not backed by the OPW on the basis of value for money. I am very familiar with the area. I crossed it when I was going to school. A weir was constructed there. There were two weirs. One of them was taken out. The remaining one is causing problems. It is increasing the water levels...

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: In the cost benefit analysis can Mr. Sydenham take into consideration the households in Patrick Street, Dunne's Terrace and Stillbrook? It is the residents who are either at risk of flooding or have been flooded in the past.

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: I do not see it as needing very large works. I do not want to simplify it. When the OPW starts doing a job it may turn out to be not as simple as it looks but we are not moving mountains here. It is relatively minor works that need to be carried out on the Whitehorse river. My last question relates to the-----

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: Yes, the two of those. Regarding the works on the Shannon, €7 million was provided for the works roughly in the area of Clonmacnoise down to Lusmagh. I had a response from the witnesses recently on this and that is allocated. I spoke to one man yesterday who has two small houses in Shannon Harbour. Both of them have been flooded. Most of his farmland is under water as we speak....

Vote 13 - Office of Public Works (11 Nov 2020) Brian Stanley: I am particularly concerned about Shannon Harbour and Banagher. The people in Shannon Harbour have suffered a great deal from being repeatedly flooded. To confirm what Mr. Buckley is saying, physical works - spades in the ground - on the River Shannon in the area from Clonmacnoise to Lusmagh will happen in 2021.
