177 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Finance if information from the Office of Public Works has been sent to a local authority; and if a copy of that information will be provided to this Deputy. [13692/07]

Information on the condition of the channel of the River Deel prior to the development in question is being provided by the Local Authority.

The area where the development took place is not within the OPW maintainable channel and the information held by the OPW is therefore limited.

A copy of the information provided to the Council will be provided to the Deputy.
