Question 204: To ask the Minister for Finance if he will ascertain from the Office of Public Works if a water course (details supplied) in County Mayo will be cleaned by them; and if the Office of Public Works is not responsible for this water course then who has responsibility for the cleaning and piping of this drain which floods the adjoining lands considering that they are not owned by the landowner.

The drain in question does not form any part of any drainage scheme for which the Commissioners of Public Works have a maintenance responsibility under the Arterial Drainage Act 1945. I understand responsibility for the cleaning of the drain rests with the landowner.
