I understand the Deputy's frustration. It is something I will follow-up on. She is very familiar with the scheme and she made reference to the areas it covers. It covers the quay walls and will extend from the dock and continue along the long walk to Spanish Arch. Properties in the Claddagh area, along with Grattan Road and Fr. Griffin would be provided protection by the construction of a quay wall along the Claddagh Basin and Nimmo's Pier. Flood defences along the property line of localised land and road-rising at Salthill will manage wave over-topping risk.

There are potentially a number of intersecting projects at varying stages from concept to completion, including the Salthill cycle scheme and the western greenway, which may possibly interact with the Coirib go Cósta - Galway city - flood relief scheme. Ultimately, the flood relief scheme is paramount. We will continue to liaise with Galway City Council and its consultants, as appropriate, with a view to maximise any mutual benefits. For me, the commitment I give here today is that I will follow-up as to where it is at in the process to get it published on the website as quickly as I possibly can.
