Question 229: To ask the Minister for Finance the state of discussions or negotiations between his Department and Kildare County Council with a view to the permanent resolution of the flooding at Mill Lane, Leixlip, County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22808/06]

I would refer the Deputy to my reply of the 4th May outlining the position in relation to flooding at Leixlip. As I indicated in that reply, the Commissioners of Public Works are willing to provide funding to Kildare County Council to carry out interim works if they are shown to be economically and environmentally sustainable. The permanent solution to the flooding problem at Mill Lane, Leixlip will be identified in the proposed Rye River Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management Plan. OPW will consider facilitating interim works if they are necessary, provided they are shown to be economically and environmentally sustainable and reasonably likely to be consistent with the recommendations of the Plan.
