I propose to takes Questions Nos. 176 and 177 together.

In order to identify means of reducing the flood risk at Crossmolina it is necessary to carry out a detailed survey of the channel involved. The survey will be carried out by the Office of Public Works as soon as water levels permit, which is expected to be in late Spring. If a scheme that is socially, economically and environmentally acceptable is identified funding will be put in place, subject to other demands on available resources.
