In line with a recent Government decision, responsibility for Coastal Protection and Coastal Flooding will become the responsibility of the Office of Public Works with effect from 1st January 2009. Arrangements are currently in train to effect the transfer.

The Office of Public Works will therefore be responsible for the allocation of funding for Coast Protection works in 2009. Any queries with regard to 2009 funding should be directed to that office.
