I propose to take Questions Nos. 172, 174, 177, 179 and 180 together.

The following table sets out the position with regard to the flood relief schemes referred to in the questions as outlined above. These schemes are being advanced by the Office of Public Works and the relevant Local Authorities and are at various stages of construction. It would not be feasible to detail all the various works elements involved in the construction of these schemes. However, all the schemes have many of the construction works elements common to most flood relief schemes including reinforced walls, earthen embankments, culverts, dredging, pumping and other associated drainage components.
