The National Flood Policy, which was adopted in 2004, requires that flood relief works carried out by the Office of Public Works be concentrated on areas where the likelihood and impact of flooding in terms of personal and economic damage is greatest, with particular emphasis on dwellings at risk. OPW's resources are fully committed to such priority schemes at present. The OPW is not in a position therefore, to contribute to the protection of the community facilities in Geevagh.
