MEETING OF RATHFARNHAM AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

QUESTION NO. 6

QUESTION: Councillor A.M. Dermody

"To ask the Manager for an up to date briefing on the availability or otherwise of flood relief to help in the cost of dealing with flood damage in the Rathfarnham/Knocklyon area?"

REPLY:

The Drainage Section has had a number of meetings with the OPW and has indicated to them the areas in the Rathfarnham/ Knocklyon areas where flood remedial works are required. We have brought to their attention the Glenbrook Footbridge, Woodview Cottage, 15 to 23 (odd) Butterfield Avenue and the problems at Castlefield and Glenvara Estates.  These jobs will be priced shortly after a Consultant's report in the case of Butterfield Avenue and funding under the OPW Minor Works Scheme will be sought.
