I am advised that Mayo County Council has prepared a report on flooding in South Mayo. The report has identified a number of proposals to solve the problems in the different areas, many of which relate to flooding of roads. The Office of Public Works is in consultation with the Council in relation to the report and will provide assistance where appropriate under the initiative, which I established to help Local Authorities to deal with flooding in areas where the cost works is in line with the social and economic benefits of the measures required.

The estimated costs of the measures proposed are very tentative at this stage and it would be contrary to good practise to publicise them.
