Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation further to Parliamentary Question No. 370 of 30 July 2020, to provide an update on the OPW's review of the Balgriffin Flood Relief Scheme referred to in parliamentary question; if the review has been completed; if so, if he will ensure it is made available to the public; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 423 and 427 together.
A review is being undertaken of the Community-Scale Flood Maps to reflect changes in the Mayne River catchment, in particular housing developments adjacent to the river which have altered the hydraulic conditions since the original Flood Maps were produced. A contract for the review is being progressed by an external consultant, and the hydraulic modelling that forms the basis of the flood maps is currently being finalised. Draft maps are due to be published for consultation this summer, on www.floodinfo.ie/map/floodmaps/, before the final maps are subsequently published. The outcome of the flood map review will inform the next steps to be taken.
