I have been advised by the Commissioners of Public Works that they have completed their examination of this study and do not consider that it meets the standards required by the Office of Public Works to justify significant expenditure on a flood relief scheme. My officials have written to Kildare County Council advising it of the situation and suggesting that a meeting be arranged to discuss the matter with a view to identifying possible ways of advancing a flood relief scheme.
