Question 176: To ask the Minister for Finance if his Department has received communication from Kildare County Council with a view to undertaking urgently required drainage works in the vicinity of Allenwood, Robertstown and Prosperous, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13696/05]

I refer the Deputy to my reply of 13 April, outlining the position with Allenwood. The Office of Public Works has not received any communication from Kildare County Council concerning drainage works in the vicinity of Allenwood, Robertstown and Prosperous, County Kildare.

As the Allenwood, Robertstown and Prosperous areas form part of the Rathangan drainage district, all matters relating to drainage in these areas are a matter for the local authority.
