The Office of Public Works has received a number of applications for funding for storm damage repair from Donegal County Council under the Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme, including an application for the location referred to by the Deputy.

The applications received are currently being assessed. However, as indicated in the OPW's letter to Local Authorities on 10^th January, 2014, OPW funding may be provided only for repairing damaged built flood defences. OPW funding is not available for repair of other types of damaged infrastructure or facilities such as roads, promenades, boardwalks, shorepaths, piers, car parks, etc. Local Authorities should apply separately to other relevant Government Departments and State Bodies in this regard.
