The Office of Public Works has no responsibility for the maintenance of the River Deal or the access road in the area concerned. However, the Office of Public Works has had various meetings and discussions with Mayo Co. Council and is prepared to make a "once off" financial contribution in this case on hardship grounds due to the age and circumstances of the applicants.
Mayo Co. Council proposes to construct an alternative access road for these clients as part of a Local Improvement Scheme and the Office of Public Works are prepared to make a contribution of 1/3 of the cost of these works up to a limit of €20,000.
