The Office of Public Works (OPW) assumed responsibility for the management of coastal erosion and coastal flood risk in January this year. OPW will continue the policy of working with Local Authorities to deal with these issues. and in particular of supporting the Authorities to undertake measures to deal with erosion where these are environmentally, socially and economically justifiable. I am advised that OPW officials have discussed the problems in the Rossbeigh area with their Local Authority counterparts and those contacts will be pursued.
