The OPW had no involvement in the implementation of flood relief works in Bray in 1986 and therefore has no maintenance responsibility for the Dargle river. OPW normally requires a local authority wishing to advance a flood protection scheme to, at a minimum, provide detailed information on the flooding risk and its impacts with an engineering assessment of the most likely causes and possible solutions, before it decides whether it should be further involved with the matter.
