To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to provide a copy of the maintenance schedule for the drain located on the Strangford Lough coastal wall behind the Saltwater Brig public house and surrounding properties.

The Cookstown Drain located on the Strangford Lough coastal wall behind the Saltwater Brig public house is maintained on a four year cycle. The last inspection on 25 November 2020 highlighted the need for maintenance work. The works were programmed to be carried out during the 2021/22 financial year. However, at that time, the landowners did not allow access for the works to be carried out. My officials will contact the landowners again with a view to including the previously identified works in this year's works programme.
