The Office of Public Works (OPW) has a statutory remit for the maintenance of the Corrib-Mask-Robe Arterial Drainage Scheme under the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945. The area in question does not form part of this Arterial Drainage Scheme.

Local flooding is in the first instance a matter for each local authority to investigate and address. The OPW has been in contact with Mayo County Council in relation to the area concerned.
