I propose to take Questions Nos. 104 to 106, inclusive, together.

Mayo County Council has this week submitted to the Office of Public Works applications under the funding scheme for flood mitigation works, referred to in my reply to the Deputy's Questions on this matter on 16 September. The Mayo County Council applications refer to a number of specific locations, including Glenisland. None of the applications received refer to any of the other locations specifically mentioned by the Deputy. It would be open to the Council to submit applications for these locations.

Mayo County Council's applications will be given full consideration, having regard to the overall number of applications received from Local Authorities seeking funding for small scale mitigation works and the availability of funds. It is expected that a decision will be made in a few weeks in relation to the allocation of funding by the OPW. The carrying out of any works in these areas would be a matter for Mayo County Council.
