The Office of Public Works (OPW) is responsible for the maintenance of Arterial Drainage Schemes completed under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945.

The fields and channels referred to by the Deputy are outside the bounds of the Feale Catchment Drainage Scheme and therefore do not form part of the Arterial Drainage Scheme under the auspices of this office.

The OPW has no maintenance responsibility at that location, nor the authority to carry out any works there.
