My Department is in discussions with Wicklow County Council regarding flooding problems at Glending Estate, Blessington, Co. Wicklow and is awaiting the Council's final proposal in relation to this issue. This proposal will then be examined by my Department's Housing Inspectorate. The Council has been assured by my Department that funding will be made available for urgent necessary works. There is a further issue of render failure which is the subject of legal proceedings initiated by the County Council. I understand that the Council is also pursuing the responsible parties in relation to a number of other matters such as central heating, leaking flat roofs and guttering.
