I would refer the Deputy to my reply to Question No. 48 on 24 September 2009. The Office of Public Works is awaiting a detailed report in relation to the flooding in Gweedore from Donegal County Council. If the council submits an application to OPW for funding to carry out a study or undertake migration works to address the problem, it will be considered, having regard to total applications received from local authorities and the overall resources available. Funding of repairs or replacements of bridges damaged by flooding would be a matter for the Department of Transport or the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
