Coast Guard Service
273. Deputy Michael McNamara asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the
date by which conveyance of the lands for the development of a new coast guard station at
Doolin, County Clare, which has already been considerably delayed by the Office of the Chief
State Solicitor, will be concluded; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8023/12]
Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian
Hayes): I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his question for written answer on 19
January 2012.
The position remains that the Chief State Solicitor’s Office is in ongoing correspondence
with the vendor’s solicitors to complete the legal formalities for the conveyance of the site, and
with the solicitors for the owner of the sewage treatment plant, in relation to the Grant of
Easement for connection to same. I can assure the Deputy that this matter is being afforded
the highest priority.
Flood Relief
274. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he
will review a matter (details supplied) regarding flooding. [8040/12]
Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (Deputy Brian
Hayes): As Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works (OPW), I can
advise the Deputy that the OPW has no role or function in relation to the operation and
maintenance of surface water drainage infrastructure. Under section 31 of the Water Services
Act 2007, local authorities, are responsible for the operation and maintenance of wastewater
infrastructure. The matter raised by the Deputy relates to inadequate surface water drainage
following heavy rain and is appropriate to be addressed by Dublin City Council. I will forward
a copy of this reply to Dublin City Council for their immediate attention.

numbers of public servants in County Cavan who retired as part of the Croke Park early
retirement scheme; if he will provide a breakdown of these numbers for gardaí, doctors, nurses,
