I propose to take Questions Nos. 108 to 111, inclusive, and 114 together.

Local flooding issues are a matter, in the first instance, for each Local Authority to investigate and address. Local authorities may carry out flood mitigation works using its own resources or apply under the OPW’s Minor Flood Mitigation Works and Coastal Protection Scheme, which makes funds available to Local Authorities to undertake minor flood mitigation works or studies to address localised flooding problems within their administrative areas.  The eligibility criteria of this scheme, including a requirement that any measures are cost beneficial, are published on the OPW website www.gov.ie/opw It is open to the Council to submit a funding application for flood mitigation works under the Scheme.  Any application received will be considered in accordance with the scheme's eligibility criteria and the overall availability of resources for flood risk management.  

Please see below in tabular form by local authority the number of projects approved, total of funding approved, number of completed projects and number of applications submitted for the years 2017 to 2020.
