THE HSE is dismissing claims that work wasn’t carried out on a stream as part of a planning process.
Paul Connors, Director of Communications at the HSE, said work was carried out.
A report today said that the work hadn’t taken place in 2002 as required by the council.
If it had it would have had no effect on the flood three weeks ago as it was further downstream from where the small river burst its banks.
However Mr Connors told a press conference today that the work referred to was carried out in 2006 and the HSE had the documentation showing this.
