At the Office of Public Works' request, the consultants on the Shannon CFRAM study carried out a review of the options for addressing the flooding problem in Clonlara. This review has identified an outline viable solution which is now included in the draft Flood Risk Management Plan for this area. Clare County Council has recently requested approval to advance a detailed project-level assessment and design for this outline solution. The OPW has now responded to the Council agreeing to the detailed study being progressed by the Council and has agreed to fund the costs of the study. Should the detailed study find that the project is technically, economically and environmentally viable then the project will be considered for further advancement with planning and construction to be undertaken by the Council.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 184 and 185 together.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) recently received two reports from Clare County Council (CCC), one regarding Cloughaninchy and one on Quilty West. The review of the submission on Cloughaninchy is almost complete and the OPW will be in contact with CCC very shortly on this. The submission on Quilty West is currently being considered and OPW will be in touch with CCC on this as soon as possible.
