My second question at today’s (21 Feb) Municipal District meeting, ‘ Can the council clarify if it has any plan to prevent future flooding in Belmount Green due to the worrying levels of flooding already occurring in close proximity to homes?

Here is the report issued by Ms E Wright, Senior Executive Officer, Roads, Transportation and Public Safety, ‘ The flooding issue in Belmount Green relates to a malfunctioning surface water attenuation system in the adjacent Walshestown Park development which is not in the charge of Kildare County Council. The Kildare-Newbridge Municipal District office has no role in this matter. Any queries should be addressed to the Development Control Section for more information on how the issue is to be resolved.
