I propose to answer Questions Nos. 89 and 90 together.

The Office of Public Works received a number of funding applications from Kerry County Council on 31 May, 2011, under the Minor Flood Works & Coastal Protection Scheme. These applications include requests for funding to undertake embankment strengthening works at Cromane (north end) and Incherea. No application has been submitted by the Council specifically in respect of works at the Glosha Embankment, which is located at the south- east end of Cromane spit. The proposals received are currently being assessed in accordance with the scheme criteria, and having regard to the overall availability of resources for flood risk management.
