100. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport further to Parliamentary Question No. 81 of 14 February 2024, if he intends to reconvene the meetings of the steering group on the flood mitigation at Ballycar; if the group will report to the relevant Departments; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy is aware, I previously met with Minister O'Donovan, where no agreement was reached about which agency would lead on the mitigation works or where funding would come from. At this meeting the OPW Chair advised he would reconvene the steering group behind a December 2020 report on Ballycar to continue discussions.
The steering group in question includes Iarnród Éireann, the OPW, Clare County Council and the Geological Survey Ireland. Officials from my Department will engage with the OPW on reconvening the group with a view to progressing the matter.
