Banna/Ardkearagh drainage survey findings
Spring sought publication of the OPW survey on the proposed scheme; Barrett said its report outlining possible solutions had already been provided to local farmers’ consultants and to Spring.
asked the Minister for Finance if he will publish the findings of the survey carried out by the Office of Public Works in relation to the proposed drainage of the Banna/Ardkearagh drainage scheme which took place during the lifetime of the 1977/81 Government.
Comment on this
The investigations carried out by the Office of Public Works into the drainage problem of the tidal outfall channel of the Banna/Ardkearagh catchment area resulted in a number of possible solutions being suggested. I understand that copies of the report setting out these solutions have already been supplied to a firm of engineering consultants acting on behalf of the local farmers and indeed to the Deputy.
