Martin Daly TD asked the Minister for Public Expenditure: Flood Relief Schemes

Martin Daly, the TD for Roscommon, raised a question in the Dáil on 28 May 2026 to the Minister for Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation. He sought an update on the Ballinasloe flood relief scheme, specifically requesting information on the projected timelines for moving beyond the first stage of scheme development and design. Mr Daly also asked when residents in the affected areas of Ballinasloe, including those on Station Road and Sarsfield Road, could expect flood‑mitigation works to begin.

The question reflects ongoing concerns in Ballinasloe, where recurrent flooding has prompted the need for a comprehensive relief scheme. Mr Daly’s inquiry was directed at clarifying the current status of the project and the expected schedule for the next phases of work. No response to the question was recorded in the available Oireachtas transcripts at the time of writing.
