Question 66: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government his views on the introduction of a local authority certification process following the implementation of flood alleviation measures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5618/11]

I assume that the question refers to flood mitigation works carried out by local authorities. Under existing arrangements funding to the authorities for such works is provided by the Office of Public Works (OPW) and issues arising in this context are a matter for my colleague the Minister for Finance who has responsibility for OPW.
